The 2011 AQHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations is available for download on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android.

From The American Quarter Horse Journal

The AQHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations is now available at the touch of a button.

At the 2011 AQHA Convention, March 4-7 in Grapevine, Texas, AQHA announced the release of a digital version of the AQHA Official Handbook. The AQHA 2011 Rules digital tool is available through iTunes to download to the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android and is free for everyone.

The digital handbook is a useful tool for any AQHA member. For instance, if you are at a show and forget your AQHA Handbook, all the information you need is on your device. You’ll find everything from proper attire to reining patterns, registration requirements, color and marking definitions, and more. AQHA will soon add additional features, with the possibility of including access to records, show dates and other important AQHA announcements.

“We’re excited to launch the first of what will be several smart-phone applications that will focus on delivering useful information for our members,” said Jim Bret Campbell, AQHA senior director of marketing and publications. “AQHA’s marketing and membership committee recently discussed multiple opportunities to develop digital tools that will target our showing, racing and recreational riding members, as well as games and educational tools for promoting our horse to young people.”

AQHA also plans to release the AQHA 2011 Rules digital tool for the Android market in the near future.

To download the digital AQHA 2011 Rules tool, access the App Store Application on your device and search for AQHA 2011 Rules. To download the AQHA 2011 Rules to your computer, go to iTunes. Over 500 people have already downloaded the iPhone version.

Whether you’re renewing your membership or joining for the first time, being an AQHA member come with plenty of perks. You can get corporate partner discounts, receive America’s Horse magazine, show at official shows and join the horseback riding program!
