AQHA: Back to Our Roots


The American Quarter Horse Journal - Wimpy P-1, the horse that holds the No. 1 spot in the American Quarter Horse Association registry, earned that designation when he was named grand champion stallion in March 1941 at the Southwestern Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas. Wimpy was bred by the renowned King Ranch of South Texas. That’s just one exam- ple of the critical role ranchers and stock shows have played in the for- mation and growth of the American Quarter Horse industry.


To spur the Quarter Horse mar- ket, the AQHA Executive Committee and staff went back to it roots in July and met with ranchers and stock show managers.

Horse Association, American Stock Horse Association - by exploring consistency in rules and possibly co- sanctioned events; and investigating the concept of a Ranching Heritage Breeder Program, which likely could be an extension of the AQHA Breed- er Referral Program.


In early July, the AQHA Execu- tive Committee and staff met with more than 20 ranching representa- tives in Oklahoma City. Their talks focused on enhancing AQHA’s reg- istration process; continuing to work with the various ranch horse compe- tition groups - Ranch Horse Associa- tion of America, Stock Horse Of Texas, National Versatility Ranch


“Despite ranchers owning and registering more American Quarter Horses than nearly any other seg- ment of AQHA, I believe that the Association has not done enough to get them involved,” said AQHA President Johannes Orgeldinger of Grosswallstadt, Germany. ‘Ranchers are truly the backbone of AQHA’s industry. I am anxious to move for- ward in pursuing the recommenda- tions that came from that meeting.â€*


asts. In previous years, spectators at stock shows and rodeos were “in tune” with agriculture-related events and had a knowledge of livestock events. Today’s audience strictly wants entertainment.


In the middle of July, several stock show managers traveled to Amarillo to meet with the Executive Committee. Discussion focused on the changing demographics of the stock show/state fair audience, which is typical of the changing demo- graphics of horse industry enthusi-


Many different scenarios and suggestions to attract more spectators and exhibitors were discussed. These discussions have further encouraged the Executive Committee to move forward with bringing together focus groups to discuss a wide range of suggestions relative to AQHA shows.” - “These meetings were ben- eficial for both AQHA and the par- ticipants,” said AQHA Executive Vice President Don Treadway Jr. “We’ll do our homework on the sug- gestions and pursue moving forward with recommendations to help these essential segments of AQHA’s industry.”
