AQHA RULING CHANGE

The AQHA Executive Committee approved a rule change requiring owners/ lessees of horses being shown at all AQHA-approved events to have a current AQHA membership in the name of the registered owner/lessee. This change to AQHA Rule SHW100.5 is effective June 1, 2023. Entries excluded from this requirement are Rookie and Level 1 youth and Rookie and Level 1 amateur.

Exhibitors who show in levels 2 and 3 in the youth and amateur divisions, as well as exhibitors in all open levels who choose to lease or show a horse not in their name need to ensure that the owner of that horse has an active AQHA membership to be able to compete in AQHA-approved events. Exhibitors will still need to have an active membership, as well, to compete. www.aqha.com/membership.

The quality of calf milk replacers is directly related to the products used to provide the protein and fat composition. That’s why BROWN’S MILK REPLACER is a best bet, as it’s enriched with coconut oil and only uses 100% milk proteins. If you’ve got bottle babies, you’ll appreciate this product for its smooth mixing consistency as well.

The SHINE PERFORMANCE RODEO SHIRT from Ranch Dressn is a brilliant garment for any horse gal. Made from a poly spandex performance blend, this long-sleeved shirt is lightweight, comfortable and a pullover style. That means, the shirt does have buttons to give it a traditional western look, but it can’t pop open in the event it ever gets caught on your saddle horn!
