Definition of Youth |

 |
The definition of an AQHA Youth Exhibitor is;
"….The age of the youth as of January 1 will be the age maintained the entire year (regardless of the time of day the youth is born). For example, a youth who has a birthday in July and is 18 years of age January 1 must show the entire year as a youth."
Youth members are allowed to ride either their own or someone else's horses in competition. To compete for points as a Youth Member, you must be a current financial member of the AQHA.
Many shows hold special youth classes. Usually, there are 11 years and under, 12 to 14 years and 15-18 years categories. Youth members are also eligible to compete in open classes if they wish.
There is also a Novice Youth category to encourage more youth competitors starting out on their show careers. Novice Youth classes are only open to Youth Members with less than 10 open or youth class points and/or less than 25 Novice Youth points.
Records of points won are kept for each show year and there are a number of High Point Awards presented each year by the AQHA at their Annual Awards Night.
