Shirley Roth was temporarily suspended.
The American Quarter Horse Association today temporarily suspended AQHA member Shirley Roth of Ocala, Florida. The temporary suspension, which includes suspension of her membership privileges and denial of access or presence on AQHA-approved show grounds, was based on the Association’s receipt of reports regarding the alleged inhumane treatment of the 2-year-old stallion Kissin The Girls, a horse entrusted to Ms. Roth’s care and responsibility. Both AQHA and NSBA received the reports in question and have been jointly investigating them. According to AQHA rule 106(e)(1), a person temporarily suspended by AQHA shall be denied AQHA privileges until the Executive Committee can hear the matter and take appropriate action. As with any reported case of inhumane treatment, AQHA will proceed accordingly, cooperate with officials and act as swiftly as reasonably possible.
