The Gold Rush Peruvian Horse Classic is the Combined Regional Championship Show of the Rio Grande Peruvian Horse Club (New Mexico) and the Southern California Peruvian Paso Club (California). 

Although functioning as one show in class structure, each club hosts its own judge, and the two  non-conferring judges award separate placings. There are individual championships, points, and prizes awarded for each club as well as overall awards of Gold Rush Classic Versatility Horse and many High Point Awards. Plus the annual Luxury Gelding Stakes class, open Champagne Cash Class and in 2019 Barbara Windom Amateur Performance Stakes! 

Why a DOUBLE Show?

A double show offers many great advantages and savings: great competition, one trip for your horses to attend TWO shows, one hotel bill, one fuel bill, fewer days away from the ranch. Plus, the show fees are substantially lower than if attending two shows separately. For example, the fee for a regular class is $60 This translates to a class fee of only $30 per class, per show! And as a special savings for those traveling from afar, you may arrive as early as 8:00 a.m. Wednesday June 21nd with NO charge for extra stall nights!
