AzQHA Membership and State Points

In all cases, membership must be paid before ANY points will count. Any memberships paid by March 15^th will count all points earned Jan 1 thru March 15 of the current year as long as both exhibitor(s)/owner(s) are members by March 15^th. All memberships paid after March 15 will start earning year end points as of the date the membership is paid.  The exhibitor/owner is responsible for proving that membership is paid, either by receipt from a show secretary or canceled check.

AQHA Membership

To show at AQHA approved shows, EVERY exhibitor must have a current AQHA individual membership. If a horse is owned by a ranch or partnership, the ranch or partnership must have an AzQHA membership, even if the persons involved already have their own individual membership.

All Open exhibitors, as well as the owner(s) of the open horse being shown  must have membership for year end points to count.

Additionally, to show at approved AQHA shows, every exhibitor must have a current AQHA individual membership. Example: a horse owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Doe and exhibited by Jane Doe and John Doe. Jane and John each must possess an individual membership with AQHA. Membership for Mr. and Mrs. Doe is not valid. To show in Amateur classes, an amateur card must be obtained from AQHA prior to showing.
