Ask a Pro Horseman Video Contest

May 23, 2012

Submit a video of you and your American Quarter Horse, and you could receive free advice from a trusted AQHA Professional Horseman.

If you’ve been having trouble with your American Quarter Horse and need some professional training help, here’s your chance to ask an AQHA Professional Horseman for free. Go to the contest tab on AQHA’s Facebook page and submit a video of you and your horse that explains the problem you and your horse have encountered. If you’re selected, we’ll ask an AQHA Professional Horseman to tackle your issue.

AQHA’s Ask an AQHA Pro Horseman Video Contest runs through May 31, 2012. Entrants must be 18 or older, and the horse depicted must be a registered American Quarter Horse. Videos must not contain copyrighted material or children under 18 unless accompanied by a parental consent statement. See below for additional rules.

Enter today at AQHA’s Facebook page for your opportunity to ask a Professional Horseman your questions. AQHA will select multiple winners, and a Professional Horseman will provide advice in written and/or video form. Your entries might be featured in an upcoming digital edition of The American Quarter Horse Journal and/or on AQHA’s web properties. Videos submitted become the property of AQHA and may be used for AQHA’s promotional purposes.
