2020 AQHA Professional Horsemen Crisis Fund Benefit Internet Auction was a success!
On behalf of the Professional Horsemen's Council, we would like to thank the Professional Horsemen who helped solicit donations, the many donors who submitted goods and services, and last but now least, those of you who purchased these items. The efforts of so many helped raise over $31,000 for the Professional Horsemen's Crisis Fund. Even during a most uncertain year and pandemic, the kindness of AQHA members never ceases and for that we are grateful. If you'd like to help us this year, please check back here as we will soon be posting information about the 2021 AQHA Professional Horsemen Online Auction benefiting the Crisis Fund. Thank you!
