PRIZES AWAIT FIRST-TIME AQHA COMPETITORS.

Have you thought about competing in your first AQHA show this summer? If so, it’s a great time to start, because AQHA has launched “Show Up!,” a program for first-time competitors.

Show Up! rewards you the more you show at AQHA shows. After going to your first show, you will receive an AQHA 2007 'I Show American Quarter Horses' jacket patch. After that, you will receive milestone patches and prizes that tell everyone what you and your Quarter Horse have been up to this year.

Here’s how you can earn all of the prizes offered this year:

• First show – AQHA showing jacket patch
• Fifth show – patch and cap
• 10th show – patch and jacket
• 15thshow – patch and barn plaque
• 25th show – patch and Professional’s Choice saddle pad

At the end of the year, the top novice youth and novice amateur riders in the Show Up! program will win either a Tex Tan western saddle or a Collegiate English saddle.

To start collecting your prizes, all you have to do is load up and head out to an AQHA show. You’ll be automatically signed up for Show Up!
