AQHA Professional Horsemen will accept donations for the AQHA Professional Horsemen’s Crisis Fund during the free Ride the Pattern Clinics, presented by Nutrena, at the 2020 Farnam AQHA World Championship Show. The clinics will air live on AQHA’s Facebook page, as AQHA Professional Horsemen from around the country share important tips on how they would complete a specific pattern from the show. Ride the Pattern attendees must abide by the Farnam AQHA World Health Protocols and social-distancing mandates to watch the clinics in-person.

“With the unfortunate cancellation of AQHA championship shows earlier this year due to the worldwide pandemic, we are now pleased to cautiously move forward with hosting several of those events with the Farnam AQHA World,” said Justin Billings, AQHA chief show officer. “We are grateful to welcome all exhibitors to compete at this year’s show since the AQHA Executive Committee waived the qualifying requirements due to the pandemic. If you’ve been considering competing at an AQHA championship show, now is a great opportunity to be part of the Farnam AQHA World.”
