Medication Report Form
Show managers will send one copy of the medication report form to AQHA with their show results, show managers will keep one copy of the form for their records, and show managers will give one copy of the medication report form to the owner/trainer.

Dressage
USEF/USDF and AQHA have come together to allow Quarter Horse's showing in Dressage the opportunity to earn AQHA points! Beginning in 2010, Dressage began being offered through USEF/USDF licensed competitions holding an AQHA class held within the existing class. Beginning in 2011, this will start with the Highest Test in Training Level and go through Grand Prix. Please use the link above (Judges List) to find a judge that would be just right for your show. In an effort to welcome dressage and dressage judges to AQHA, a complimentary membership was provided to all USEF-licensed dressage judges. Because AQHA rules require judges to be current members, AQHA felt it was important to provide nearly 300 memberships to eligible judges. We hope this will increase participation of American Quarter Horses in approved dressage competitions.
