She pushes me to do everything average-size people do with horses, but maybe in a different way.

AQHA staff will teach the in-depth workshops, which will take a deeper look into marketing, promoting, organizing and managing AQHA shows. AQHA show management workshops are a great opportunity to review new rules and procedures for the upcoming year. Members watching the show management workshop without registering will not be able to take the show management workshop test, which is part of the official AQHA certification process.
