Equipment Rules from AQHA
A dedication to putting the American Quarter Horse first has led the AQHA Executive Committee to make changes in AQHA rules as far as equipment use at all AQHA-approved shows, which include our CAQHA Shows. These changes are based on recommendations from the AQHA Animal Welfare Commission and their definition of abuse: Any excessive and/or repetitive action to cause obvious distress or discomfort to a horse. A list of the new rules can be found and downloaded below.
