The Nutrena Central, West and East AQHA Level 1 Championships are three pinnacle events for Level 1, Rookie and walk-trot competitors around the world. The Nutrena Level 1 Championships offer a variety of events and activities for competitors, friends, family and spectators to take part in throughout the show, including free Ride the Pattern clinics taught by AQHA Professional Horsemen and the AQHA Level 1 Championships Educational Series. The purpose of these levels of AQHA competition is for everyone from the minimally accomplished to beginner AQHA competitors to get in the arena and gain experience.
AQHA is pleased to have Nutrena’s continued support of AQHA members and professionals alike.
