Then for the AEP (only) shows, we will keep your points, similar to a state year-end program. We will award, at the end of the show period, year-end high points in the following divisions: Open Jr, Open Sr, L1 Amateur, Amateur, Select, L1 Youth, 13 & under, 14-18 & Small Fry. (If a particular show has classes leveled, L2 & L3, both levels will count towards that division.) In the non-pro divisions, points will count as a horse/rider combination.

AQHA is excited to partner with Don Rich Saddles to offer 2019 top all-around winners a new incentive. The all-around high-point winners in the Level 3 junior, senior and amateur divisions will receive a custom saddle by Don Rich Saddlery, along with $5,000 in cash.

Attention all AQHA exhibitors!  The Silver Dollar Circuit is scheduled for February 21-26 at South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Simple searches such as “How do I order a DNA or a genetic test kit?” or “How do I register a foal with AQHA?” connects users with the answers they need. 

You can submit your story about inspiring examples of giving (time, money, skills, goods, etc.) into an online gallery, share your story across your social media networks, generate votes for the NSBA Foundation story, and have the opportunity to win grants for the NSBA Foundation. Stories may be submitted in written or video format.

Qualifying is done through participation in each class at Dual Approved or Special Events. Horses in Open classes and horses and riders in Youth and Amateur classes are required to participate in the corresponding dual approved class a minimum of five times within the qualifying period of May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020. Those who do not qualify may enter with an additional $150 qualification fee per class. 

This year’s Non Pro High Point Champions will be awarded Bob’s Custom Saddle certificates valued at $5,200. Winners can select their sizing and saddle style, and choose to upgrade the saddle with additional tooling and silver at the winner’s expense.
