Don Falcon named Interim Executive Director for the World Conformation Horse Association to manage day to day operations of the association, he will also continue to serve as Coordinator for the WCHA Breeder’s Championship and Big Money Futurities as well as Chairman of the Breeder’s Committee.

Don has a wealth of association experience having served as President, Vice President, Treasurer of state and regional associations in his home state of Montana. As show coordinator/manager of the Silver Chalice Shows he took a show that had a class c rating in 1980 to one of the largest shows in the nation and it held that distinction for a 20 year span until Don and wife Berta moved to Texas with their stallion, Touchdown Kid. Falcon was a National Director for AQHA and served on the Youth, Membership, Professional Horsemen, and the Show Committees. He also served on World Show and Halter Task Force committees. As a WCHA director he chaired the Breeder’s Committee and was instrumental in developing the WCHA Breeder’s Championship and each year that he’s been the coordinator it has increased in participation and dollars paid out. Although living in Louisiana he formed a small group out West and put the Best in the West Futurity in place and still serves as its coordinator. The first Get of Sire Class that packed the coliseum at the AQHA World Show was the result of his vision and coordination. Don holds specialized halter judging credentials with AQHA, APHA and WCHA and has judged the AQHA Open World Show, AQHA Select World Show, APHA Open World Show and the BHF Futurity, etc.

Don and his wife Berta live in Columbia, LA. They have a daughter Dawn, and son Ben, who were successful youth and amateur exhibitors winning AQHA World titles and now their granddaughters, Olivia, Taylor and Bella compete so it’s a family tradition!

Falcon says, “I’ve been a trainer, stallion owner, mare owner, judge, horse show manager and futurity coordinator which gives me insight to the needs and concerns of our membership from different perspectives. I firmly believe that a strong non pro program is the engine that drives the train and I also feel that more emphasis needs to be directed to those breeders and exhibitors that have quit showing, have quit breeding and raising halter horses, they still want to compete but feel left behind. My goal is to develop programs to be all inclusive to everyone who have a passion for raising and showing halter horses. Furthermore I couldn’t be more encouraged with the future for WCHA because of the really good people on the Executive Committee, our BOD and our energetic committee chairs! And with Krissy Colbath and Kate Jackson, who bring innovative skills as administrative consultants we have a GREAT TEAM to move the association forward.“
