Horseback Riding Program

The AQHA Horseback Riding Program rewards you for just doing what you already love doing. To just about everyone who's ever done it, riding an Australian Quarter Horse is one of the most rewarding experiences. The AQHA Horseback Riding Program is an incentive based program that reward you with great prizes for the time spent in the saddle on your registered Australian Quarter Horse. Simply become an AQHA Member and nominate for the Horseback Riding Program and you are on the way to Discovering Your Lifestyle!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
When you register with the Horseback Riding Program, we will send you log sheets which you fill in to keep a log of hours you spend riding an Australian Quarter Horse. Send this log into the AQHA office, and at incremental levels you will receive special AQHA Horseback Riding Program awards. You’re competing against no one but yourself, and you can progress at your own rate.

WHAT OTHER INFORMATION SHOULD I KNOW?
Now riding an Australian Quarter Horse is more rewarding than ever. There is no enrolment deadline or time limit. You need not be the owner of the horse, but it must be registered with the AQHA and the horse’s owner must be financial. You can ride more than one horse (providing each horse you ride is a registered Quarter Horse owned by a financial member). Hours can be accrued while exercising, trail riding, nearly anything other than competing. You are competing on an honour system, you record your hours on horseback, you monitor your progress.

WHAT ARE THE REGULATIONS?
Winning is as easy as riding an Australian Quarter Horse and following some very simple regulations. You must be a financial member of the AQHA, logged hours will only be recorded whilst membership is financial. You must ride a registered Quarter Horse belonging to a financial member. You must not currently be participating in any other type of point scoring event.
