Support America's Horse Cares Today!

The American Quarter Horse Foundation knows that the unique emotional bond between an American Quarter Horse and a human can overcome physical, psychological and emotional barriers, bringing newfound joy to individuals with special needs.

That’s why the Foundation offers a special program to support therapeutic riding - America's Horse Cares.  America's Horse Cares is dedicated to creating an ongoing funding base to support special-needs individuals and organizations that benefit from equine experiences.

FARNAM SUPPORTS AMERICA'S HORSE CARES

All it takes is ONE ride, and America's Horse Cares will have the opportunity to provide many more rides thanks to a major gift from AQHA's corporate partner Farnam, the official grooming and conditioning product supplier and official dewormer supplier of AQHA.

"We are grateful to Farnam," said Foundation Executive Director Gary Carpenter.  "While this donation is not directly tied to sales of Farnam products, it goes without saying that when AQHA members purchase Farnam products, it makes gifts like this one possible."

Farnam has been an AQHA Corporate Partner since 2004.  The Phoenix, Arizona-based company sponsors the Vetrolin Champion Trainer Award of the Bank of America Racing Challenge, and co-sponsors the AQHA World Championship Show as well as the Bayer Select World Championship Show.  Farnam also is a presenting sponsor of the AQHA Regional Experiences.
