The American Quarter Horse Journal, February 9, 2009 -- AQHA's Cam Foreman has been appointed chair of the American Horse Council Horse Show Committee. The AHC’s Horse Show Committee includes representatives of various AHC organizations in the horse show community and advises the AHC Board of Trustees on national issues important to horse shows, trainers and exhibitors.
Foreman is currently the Executive Director of Shows and Regional Services for the American Quarter Horse Association. He oversees the shows, amateur, professional horsemen, international, drug testing, and regional services departments of AQHA. He also serves as General Manager of the AQHA World Championship Show, Ford AQHYA World Championship Show, and the AQHA Bayer Select World Championship Show.
“I am very happy to be asked to chair this AHC committee," said Foreman. "There are a lot of federal legislative and regulatory issues facing the showing industry that we need to be aware of and involved in."
“The AHC is very fortunate to have Cam Foreman as the new chairman of our Horse Show Committee. With his extensive background in the horse show world, both domestically and internationally, he will be a valuable addition to an already accomplished group of horsemen and -women. The AHC’s Horse Show Committee is an important part of the AHC’s efforts in Washington. It provides the important link to people involved in the $29 billion horse show industry,” said Jay Hickey, president of the American Horse Council.
Other committees that currently advise the AHC are the Animal Welfare Committee, the Health and Regulatory Committee, the Racing Advisory Committee, the Recreation Committee and the State Horse Council Committee. As a whole, these committees collaborate with the AHC to pursue legislation that is in the best interest of the horse industry.
