Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: AFFILIATE PROGRAM - AQHA HAS PARTNERSHIPS WITH LIKE-MINDED GRASSROOTS AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATIONS TO HELP PROMOTE THE BENEFITS OF AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE INVOLVEMENT. THERE ARE 83 STATE/PROVINCIAL AQHA AFFILIATES REPRESENTING ALL FIFTY STATES AND SEVEN PROVINCES. IF AN ASSOCIATION HANDLES BOTH THE RACE AND SHOW SEGMENTS OF OUR INDUSTRY, THEN AQHA HAS ONLY ONE AFFILIATE IN THAT STATE OR PROVINCE. IN THE CASE WHERE THOSE SEGMENTS ARE REPRESENTED BY THEIR OWN ENTITY, THEN AQHA COULD HAVE TWO AFFILIATES IN THAT LOCATION. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL UNITE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE OWNERS, DEVELOP AND PROVIDE BENEFICIAL SERVICES FOR ALL HORSE OWNERS THAT ENHANCE AND ENCOURAGE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE OWNERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL GENERATE GROWTH OF AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP VIA THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, RECOGNITION, MONITORING PUBLIC POLICY, MARKETING, PROMOTION, AND PUBLICITY OF THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL BE THE EFFECTIVE INDUSTRY VOICE SERVING ALL AQHA MEMBERS AND HORSE OWNERS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL WITH DIVERSE PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE. RACING COUNCIL GRANTS - IS A PROGRAM WHERE REQUESTS FOR GRANTS ARE SUBMITTED BY OUR STATE AFFILIATES FOR RACING PROMOTION INITIATIVE PURPOSES. GRANTS ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY OUR RACING COUNCIL. INCENTIVE FUND - IS A PROGRAM WHEREBY AQHA-SANCTIONED SHOW PARTICIPANTS AND BREEDERS WIN CASH PRIZES BASED ON TOTAL POINTS ACCUMULATED DURING EACH SHOW YEAR. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE, BREEDERS MUST PAY NOMINATION FEES FOR THEIR STALLIONS AND FOALS. THE NOMINATION FEES AND THE RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME REPRESENT THE SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR THE CASH PRIZES AWARDED. NOMINATED STALLIONS AND FOALS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS FROM THE INCENTIVE FUND BASED ON TOTAL SHOW POINTS EARNED DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR. RACING CHALLENGE PROGRAM - IS AN INCENTIVE-TYPE PROGRAM OPEN TO ALL REGISTERED AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE FOALS. THE RACING CHALLENGE RECEIVES FUNDS FROM INDIVIDUALS FOR THE NOMINATION OF THEIR HORSES. NOMINATIONS RECEIVED ARE USED TO SUPPLEMENT PURSE AWARDS AT CHALLENGE RACES AND ARE PAID TO THE NOMINATORS AND OWNERS AS BONUS AWARDS. RACE ENTRY FEES ARE RECEIVED FROM INDIVIDUALS TO ENTER A CHALLENGE RACE AND ARE ADDED TO THE PURSE AWARD. CORPORATE SPONSORS CONTRIBUTE FUNDS TO THE PURSE AWARDS AS WELL. HORSEMANSHIP GRANTS - EACH YEAR U.S. COLLEGE EQUESTRIAN TEAMS FILL OUT APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS TO TRAVEL ABROAD AND TEACH HORSEMANSHIP SKILLS AND THE VALUE OR THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE BREED AS THE RIDE OF CHOICE. THE RECIPIENTS ARE SELECTED BASED UPON THEIR APPLICATION AND THEIR TEAM COMMITMENT TO HORSEMANSHIP. THE TEAMS THEN CONDUCT CLINICS IN VARIOUS EUROPEAN COUNTRIES PROMOTING THE WESTERN STYLE OF RIDING AND THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE. STEP OR STEWARDS FOR TRAILS, EDUCATION AND PARTNERSHIPS IS A PROGRAM UNDER AQHA'S WING THAT WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS TRAIL TROTTERS. TRAIL TROTTERS WAS LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER 2004 BY THE EQUESTRIAN LAND CONSERVATION RESOURCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL FOREST FOUNDATION. THE IDEA WAS TO BUILD A PROGRAM THAT WOULD INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN TRAIL STEWARDSHIP AMONG EQUINE ENTHUSIASTS WHILE CASTING A POSITIVE LIGHT ON HORSEBACK RIDERS TO LAND MANAGERS AND OTHER TRAIL USERS. THIS PROGRAM PROMOTES EQUESTRIAN INVOLVEMENT IN THE RESTORATION, REPAIR, AND ESTABLISHMENT OF TRAILS AND TRAILHEADS ON NATIONAL TRAILS DAY, WHICH HAS BEEN HELD EVERY JUNE SINCE 1992 AND HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE IN CONJUNCTION WITH GREAT OUTDOORS MONTH. EQUESTRIAN GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN TRAIL MAINTENANCE AND RESTORATION PROJECTS. A NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP AWARD IS GIVEN EACH YEAR TO A GROUP OR ORGANIZATION WHOSE PROJECT PROVES COMMENDABLE THROUGH COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY. WORLD SHOWS - THE WORLD'S BEST AMERICAN QUARTER HORSES MEET EACH YEAR FOR THE CHANCE TO BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION AND SHARE IN CASH AND AWARDS. FROM HALTER TO REINING AND JUMPING TO TRAIL, THE FORD YOUTH WORLD SHOW IS HELD IN AUGUST AND AMATEUR AND OPEN AQHA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW ARE HELD EACH NOVEMBER IN OKLAHOMA CITY. THE ADEQUAN SELECT SHOW IS HELD IN AUGUST IN AMARILLO AND THE ZOETIS VERSATILITY RANCH HORSE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IS HELD IN HOUSTON EACH MARCH. ENTRIES ARE BY INVITATION ONLY BASED UPON COMPETITION IN THE 2,400 APPROVED AQHA SHOWS. A PANEL OF JUDGES EVALUATES EACH CLASS TO DETERMINE THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPION TITLE. EACH EVENT IS FOR THOSE WHO LOVE AND APPRECIATE THE ATHLETIC ABILITY AND BEAUTY OF THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE AND WANT TO SHOWCASE THE BEST IN EACH CLASS.
