Horseback Riding Program

Purpose: The purpose of the ASQHA Horseback Riding (HBR) Program is to promote and reward ASQHA members for enjoying their American Quarter Horses, and other breeds, outside of the competitive show arena. This is not a competitive program; however, awards will be given to those who accumulate the greatest number of hours in the saddle throughout the year. In addition, “lifetime achievement” recognition will be given to participants who reach benchmark hours.

 

Divisions: There will be four separate divisions. Two horse divisions: AQHA and Other Breed. Each of these will have two rider categories: Adult (19+) and Youth (18 and under).

 

Enrollment: In order to participate in the ASQHA HBR program, you must have an ASQHA (or ASQHYA for Youth) membership. In addition, participants must pay an annual enrollment fee of $10. You pay one enrollment fee per division. So, for example, if an adult wanted to register for both AQHA and Other Breeds, they would pay a total of $20, plus membership. However, there is no limit to the number of horses that can be ridden per division under that one fee.

 

Hours: Participants are required to log the hours they spend riding their horse, as well as the location. A separate log sheet is required for each horse and/or division. Click on HBR “Information and Registration” on asqha.com, then click on the “Event Report” button.


Awards: The “season” for year-end awards will run from June 1-September 1. After Sept. 1, participants have until October 1 to submit their completed log sheets to Christina. The participants logging the most hours in each division/rider category will receive year-end awards, similar to the show high-point award recipients.

 

In addition, “lifetime benchmarks” have been established for all hours logged after registration during the year from January 1 – December 31. Once a rider reaches 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 hours, they will receive a special award from ASQHA. Only hours accumulated in consecutive years as an enrolled member will count towards these benchmarks. If an individual chooses not to participate (at a minimum as an enrolled member) in the HBR Program for a year, all past hours are lost, and they will begin again at their next enrollment with 0 hours.

 

Rules: Refer to general rules on page 2.


General Rules:

• Logs are being kept on the honor system.

 

• In order for hours to count, participants MUST have a CURRENT ASQHA or

ASQHYA Membership. Family memberships do count.

 

• Separate log sheets must be kept for each individual horse, and each division

(AQHA vs. Other Breeds).

 

• Although the “season” officially begins on June 1, participants may enroll

at any time. Hours cannot be counted until Christina has received the enrollment,

and sent a welcome letter and log form.

 

• Hours from log sheets not submitted by October 1 will not be counted for Year-end awards, however, they will count towards Lifetime Benchmarks if they are received by December 31.
