On February 13, AQHA and the management committee for the Region Eight AQHA Regional Experience collectively decided to postpone that region's 2009 Experience. For questions regarding this year's event, originally scheduled May 7-9 in Amarillo, contact us. During the upcoming weeks, we will post the most frequently asked questions on this site to allow you to more efficiently plan your spring and summer show schedule. For a current list of scheduled AQHA shows, please visit our online show calendar.

WHY WAS THE 2009 REGION EIGHT EXPERIENCE CANCELED?

Due to recent changes in the Region Eight management committee, the decision was made to postpone this year's event to allow for more time to plan a larger event in 2010. Keep checking back for the latest news and information regarding the 2010 Region Eight AQHA Regional Experience.

I LIVE IN REGION 8, AND I WAS PLANNING TO ATTEND THIS YEAR. SINCE OUR EVENT IS CANCELED, CAN I TRAVEL TO ANOTHER REGION AND COMPETE FOR REGIONAL EXPERIENCE AWARDS?

Absolutely! Please contact AQHA today to apply for a Regional Experience hardship. New for 2009, anyone can apply to AQHA for a hardship to travel to a Regional Experience closer to their home. Your hardship application must be received to AQHA before the pre-entry deadline of the region in which you wish to compete. As in previous years, you and your horse can only compete in one region and all Regional Experience eligibility rules still apply.
