Happy New Year from the QHAA!!! Look what's coming in 2021!!!

Don't forget to get your memberships in, and remember that since 2020 was a bust, 2020 memberships are good for 2021. So if you bought one in 2020 you do not have to buy one for 2021.
After careful discussions with the AQHA Show Council, AQHA Affiliate Advisory Board, affiliates and advisers; an extensive comparison of qualifying data; and evaluating the potential continued effects of the pandemic, the AQHA Executive Committee has waived the traditional qualification requirements for the 2021 AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse World Championships and AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge Finals, slated for June 22-27, 2021, at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma; and the 2021 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show, tentatively scheduled for July 28 - August 8 at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.
In September, the AQHA Executive Committee made the decision to move forward with traditional qualifying requirements for the 2021 AQHA championship shows. Since that announcement, the Executive Committee, AQHA staff and Show Council have continued to monitor the situation for each championship show to determine if modifications need to be made due to the pandemic.
Read more information regarding the 2021 AQHA VRH World and AQHA RHC Finals decision. AQHA alliance partner the National Ranch and Stock Horse Alliance also made the decision to waive qualifying requirements for the 2021 NRSHA National Championships, which is held in conjunction with the AQHA VRH World.
The AQHA Executive Committee, Show Council and staff will continue to monitor and review the qualifying data for the remaining 2021 AQHA championship shows. The Association will publish the most up-to-date information on AQHA.com.
Two Alberta AQHA directorships are available.
If you know someone interested in representing Alberta please nominate them. The position would involve travelling to the AQHA convention and attending committee meetings throughout the year on Alberta's behalf. Persons involved in recreational riding, ranching, racing or showing as they pertain to the American Quarter Horse are welcome.
For more information contact the QHAA Director of Nominations and Credentials, Steve Schiestel at Steve@summitstrategies.ca
In the past memberships were confusing. They kind of went with the horse, sometimes the exhibitor. Families with multiple horses paid a lot.
Starting in 2020 your QHAA membership is simply on the person, show as many horses as you want.
And remember you do not have to be a QHAA member to show. But, to save money by using the all inclusive fee, or to be eligible for all of those cool year end awards you do want a membership.
Here is the new rule:
a. A $60 individual QHAA membership is required from the owner and the exhibitor to be eligible for year end awards in AQHA classes.
b. QHAA memberships are required from the owner to be eligible for the all- inclusive show fee.
c. Owner and exhibitor must be QHAA members for QHAA stake or QHAA futurity classes.
d. QHAA memberships are not required for partner association classes (NSBA futurity classes, NRHA, ABRA, etc.) Most Gold Rush futurity classes do not require a QHAA membership because they are NSBA.
The Supreme Halter Champion is a non AQHA class. The determination of the winner will be as follows:
