The Sandhills Quarter Horse Show returns to the Permian Basin on May 9-10 at the Outback arena near the Ector County Coliseum, offering two days of top-tier competition and horsemanship. This free, family-friendly event features exhibitors and their horses dressed in coordinated, eye-catching attire, with special events including adult classes like the playful “don’t spill your wine” competition. The show also coincides with Mother’s Day weekend, providing activities for moms to enjoy.

Additionally, the event supports youth riders by awarding scholarship money to juniors, seniors, and incoming college students who compete. The scholarship committee decides the distribution of funds, which are sent directly to the recipients’ colleges.
