AQHA

The American Quarter Horse Association recognizes hard-working individuals and their American Quarter Horses at the end of each year through the Association’s year-end high-point awards program.

The top point earners in each division of every AQHA event are recognized annually. Horses are awarded in the open division, and youth and amateurs competing with any one horse are acknowledged in their respective divisions.

“Earning an AQHA year-end high-point award is hard evidence of the commitment to excellence in the show pen from both horse and rider,” said Scott Neuman, AQHA director of competitions. “Earning one of these prestigious titles is an honor and is permanently etched in the AQHA history books. Congratulations to each of our earners on this accomplishment!”

In addition to the leaders in each class, AQHA also named the 2022 year-end all-around award winners. AQHA recognizes the AQHA All-Around Youth 13-&-Under, AQHA All-Around Youth 14-18 and the Markel Insurance Overall All-Around Youth in the youth division; the AQHA All-Around Amateur and AQHA All-Around Select Amateur in the amateur division; the AQHA All-Around Junior Horse and Senior Horse awards; and leading open-division exhibitor.
