ALBERTA YOUTH QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION INITIATIVE
Do you know an Alberta youth that has been wanting to try showing at QHAA shows that has never showed at them before?
Yes? Well the QHAA has the answer! They have a program just for them!
Alberta Youth Quarter Horse Association (AYQHA) and Quarter Horse Association of Alberta (QHAA) is offering a new program for youth that have never showed at QHAA shows but want to give it a try.
One selected youth per show in the 2024 show year will be selected to have show fees covered by QHAA and to be connected with a trainer (chosen by AYQHA and QHAA). The youth will get two lessons from that trainer and will get stalled with the trainer at the show. The trainer will help the youth out as much as they can at the show. The youth will be responsible for having own transportation, accommodations, tack and proper show clothes.
Interested youth can become eligible by submitting a video or written essay explaining what this opportunity means to them and what their goals are in the horse industry. The youth will also provide a video of them riding the horse they wish to show.
For more information please email ayqha.info@gmail.com .
Please note*
This is not open for any previous youth of AYQHA.
To show in AQHA classes the horse must be a registered quarter horse.
Youth must have a valid AQHA membership as well as a QHAA (AYQHA) membership this is at the expense of the youth.
To show in all breed classes no registration or AQHA membership is required, however QHAA membership is.
Selected youth will be told what show they get to attend, Canadian National Quarter Horse Show is not one of the options. Please understand that this is a one time opportunity, one a youth has been selected, they may not be considered again.
