Together they’ll cover a wide variety of classes in an interactive format, using APHA horseIQ as a learning tool.

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.
