AQHA Dressage Points
February 2, 2010
Learn how to start earning AQHA dressage points.
Here at AQHA, we’ve expanded our show class repertoire to include dressage.
This is an exciting move for many of our exhibitors, who have been waiting for their dressage points to be included in their American Quarter Horse’s performance record.
AQHA will begin including Dressage points at Training Level 4. AQHA shows are not being revamped to include dressage classes; AQHA will include results from the United States Dressage Federation and United States Equestrian Federation shows. USDF and USEF judges will preside over classes, but they are required to be AQHA members.
Make Your Points Count
Exhibitors showing their American Quarter Horses in dressage classes who wish to have their scores added to AQHA records must be AQHA members.
AQHA requires a competition license fee to be paid for each horse. The $85 fee is good for the life of the horse. Once the fee is paid to the AQHA Competition Department, a competition license is issued to the horse’s owner — much like a membership card. The competition license follows the horse, AQHA reviews the exhibitor information when the show results are submitted to verify Division and eligability for recording and year end award purposes. If the card is misplaced, contact AQHA at (806) 376-4811 and ask for the Competition Department. There is a $5 replacement fee.
AQHA will recognize the three high-point American Quarter Horses at each of the nine Regional Championship shows in 2010 and has also created a high-point recognition program for the open, amateur and youth divisions. Exhibitors must follow AQHA rules for each division to be eligible for the award.
