AQHA Membership Auto-Renewal Effective October 1, the American


Quarter Horse Association will begin to transition domestic and international AQHA and AQHYA memberships with payment method on file with the Association to be automatically renewed. AQHA and AQHYA memberships purchased on or after October 1 with a payment method on file will be automatically renewed. The auto-renewal will create a more streamlined process for members who renew annually or every three years. Annual general and amateur memberships will automatically renew to an annual general or amateur membership, and three-year general and amateur memberships will automatically renew to a three-year general or amateur membership. Members will be notified if the payment method on file will expire be- fore the renewal date for the opportunity to update the payment information. New or re- newed American Quarter Horse Youth As- sociation memberships purchased on and after October 1 will also be automatically renewed until the member graduates AQHYA. Graduating AQHYA members must upgrade their membership to a general or amateur membership and will not be au- tomatically renewed to a general or amateur membership. Since 2008, AQHA has offered


members the ability to opt into auto-re- newal at any time. However, this modifica- tion will create a more efficient renewal process for members to focus their time on what they love – spending time with their American Quarter Horses. By being a member of the largest equine breed registry in the world, American Quarter Horse en- thusiasts receive a variety of invaluable benefits from exclusive partner discounts to programs, competitions and events. The As- sociation strives to provide world-class re- sources to members no matter where you are in your American Quarter Horse jour- ney.


Current AQHA members who do not


have a payment method on file or members who prefer to opt-out of auto-renewal, will continue to receive renewal notices as they have in the past. New or renewed AQHA members have the option to opt out by con- tacting AQHA or by selecting the opt-out option on the membership form.

The West to connect job-seeking AQHA members with western and agriculture- based businesses that are seeking employ- ees,” said Patty Tiberg, AQHA chief marketing and business development offi- cer. “The future of the western and agricul- tural industries is highly dependent upon recruiting and retaining top-notch talent and we want to connect AQHA members who may be seeking jobs with businesses seek- ing employees.” Of The West will offer AQHA members: • 10% Discount for AQHA members to post available positions • Email from Of The West to all AQHA members who enroll with Of The West with equine industry job availabilities and indus- try updates. • Resources for AQHYA members to find internship and hands-on experience oppor- tunities. In addition to providing discounts to


AQHA members, Of The West will also work to create more awareness of future ca- reer opportunities in the American Quarter


Horse industry for AQHA and AQHYA members. “We are very honoured to be forging a partnership with the American Quarter Horse Association,” said Jessie Jarvis, Of The West founder and CEO. “Jobs play a critical role in the future of agriculture and western industries. Through this partnership, we will not only be able to connect more employers and job seekers within agriculture and western industries, but it will also allow us to continue our work to educate younger generations on the variety of career opportunities that can be found in the American Quarter Horse indus- try, and help to retain them as tomorrow’s leaders.”
