Hosted by the 2015-16 AQHYA officers and directors, YES will hold a wide variety of activities and feature speakers focused on the youth of our industry. If you’ve never attended YES, it’s an amazing opportunity to meet new people and have fun learning about leadership.

Up to four trophies are awarded to each zone show based on the show’s high-point rules, one in each of the following divisions: Open, Amateur, Youth and Solid Paint-Bred. In order to be eligible for the Open or Solid Paint-Bred divisions, the owner must be a current member of APHA and reside in the zone.

Also in the report, 2015-16 AQHA President Dr. Glenn Blodgett explains the priorities he focused on in 2015. He discusses a new chapter for AQHA with the restructuring of the Association’s management; one of AQHA’s utmost priorities, animal welfare and continuing to put our horse first; remaining fiscally responsible as an organization; an update on the cloning lawsuit; and moving forward as an association.
