2012 AQHA Year in Review

Many changes were made in 2011 that will affect how you show your American Quarter Horse in 2012. Be informed before you head off to your next AQHA show, plus celebrate the triumphs and mourn the passings from 2011:

Patti Carter-Pratt: AQHA hired AQHA Professional Horseman Patti Carter-Pratt of St. George, Ontario, as AQHA executive director of shows. ...

Leveling: AQHA began developing a leveling program to offer a broader variety of exhibitor skill-level classes. ...

Rookie Classes: AQHA introduced a trial run of Rookie classes created by the AQHA Blue-Ribbon Task Force to make the transition from 4-H, open showing or no show experience at all less intimidating and more comfortable for exhibitors. ...

Novice Championship Shows: An exciting component in the leveling program is the addition of the AQHA Novice Championship Show Weekend. ...

Passing of the Reins: Johannes Orgeldinger handed the president’s reins to Peter J. Cofrancesco III, who was elected AQHA president at the 2011 AQHA Convention in Grapevine, Texas. ...

American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame: First Down Dash, Mr San Peppy, Skipper W, Streakin Six, Doug and Nancy Dear, Frank Howell and Joe Kirk Fulton were inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame at the 2011 AQHA Convention. ...
