More events are coming to the Fort Worth Stockyards as the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) announces a partnership with the developers behind Mule Alley.
APHA is teaming up with Stockyards Heritage Development Co. "to develop new and exciting public events, provide growth and opportunity within the national and international equine industry, and to promote and preserve Fort Worth’s exceptional Western heritage and contemporary cowboy culture," according to a news release. With the partnership also comes a special title for Mule Alley: the Official Entertainment District of the APHA.
“The APHA has been a great partner to us in our ongoing developments and our commitment to elevating the Western lifestyle experiences in the Stockyards,” Craig Cavileer, managing partner of Stockyards Heritage Development Co., said in a statement. “With our new Hotel Drover and Mule Alley as the Official Entertainment District of the APHA, we further solidify our position in this special community.”
New events coming this year include a Sunday Barrel Racing and Breakaway Roping Series, the second annual Cowgirl Gathering, and the new Reunion de Vaquero, all of which take place throughout the Fort Worth Stockyards and Cowtown Coliseum, which recently came under management of Stockyards Heritage Development Co., PBR, and ASM Global. Stockyards facilities will also be made available for industry business meetings and membership programs.
“Our partnership in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards is unique in the equine association, and these events are proof that committed partners can do great things,” American Paint Horse Association executive director Billy Smith said.
