Texas Quarter Horse Association Racing Division

The Accredited Texas Bred Owner/Breeder/Stallion Owner award checks for the 2026 Retama Park and 2026 Gillespie County Fair meets have been dropped off at the post office and are headed your way!! Just like Houston, this was a big year for Accredited Texas Breds at Retama Park and Gillespie County Fair as the number of ATB horses running first, second or third in all races was up considerably over the past few years. That means the Texas Breeders are producing a really nice product and the Owners are benefiting from that!! Congratulations to all the award earners.
