LMQHA Icebreaker 2025

We are so excited to be bringing the icebreaker show back for 2025. This year we have collaborated alongside the all Arabian association of British Columbia to host the icebreaker show alongside their May show. Icebreaker is an AQHA, APHA and all breed show orientated around welcoming newcomers and being amateur DIY friendly. The goal of icebreaker was to create a show where everyone felt welcome and those who had never shown at a breed show could have the opportunity to experience the fun-filled weekend without at the cost of traveling to the United States or across Canada. The committee is working very hard to bring back lots of fun things in 2025.. first off is a progressive dinner night held in conjunction with the Arabian club on the Friday night of the show. Followed by a all breed futurity night featuring the following classes: Hunter under saddle, Western pleasure, ranch riding and non-pro showmanship, where buckles will be awarded to the winners of each class.

The 2025 icebreaker committee is committed to making this event fun, inclusive and attainable for every level of Rider. We hope to see lots of familiar faces as well as many new ones this may 2-4 at Thunderbird Show Park.

Thank you,

The 2025 Icebreaker Committee
