Youth Division
Activities - Camp Quarter Horse

Camp Quarter Horse is an initiative of the AQHA to encourage, support & promote Youth development within the Australian Quarter Horse & equine industry.

The AQHA aims to encourage Affiliates to hold one Camp Quarter Horse in each state, each year.

How Does It Work?
Applications to hold Camp Quarter Horse are submitted by tender, each state is allocated a maximum of one Camp Quarter Horse per year.

Any Affiliate can tender to hold that Camp Quarter Horse, it is not restricted to State Affiliates.
Camps must be held during school holidays or on a long weekend.

Take the information received in this pack to your club meeting and discuss if you believe your Affiliate can meet the requirements required to run a Camp Quarter Horse successfully.

If you decide that you can meet the requirements you need to fill out the “Application Form” and return it fully completed to our office.

The Affiliate Coordinator will ensure that the relevant information has been received then forward a copy to the AQHA General Manager who along with the Youth Director will process your application.

If your application is approved you will then be able to take the logistical steps required to run your Camp Quarter Horse.

What is the AQHA's Committment
The AQHA will provide a $1000.00 subsidy for the Affiliate holding the Camp, this payment is to assist in the financial running of the camp and is paid to the Affiliate after the event is held and on the submission and approval of the subsidy claim form at the discretion of the AQHA General Manager.

The AQHA will also provide promotional material such as stickers and brochures to be used during Camp Quarter Horse.
If requested the AQHA will also provide merchandise including caps at a discounted rate for the Affiliate to sell as a fundraiser.
