Watch the 2024 American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame Celebration

Each year, the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame’s class of inductees travel to Amarillo to enjoy a full weekend of celebration activities at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum. This special celebration allows families and honored guests to experience the highest honor the Association can bestow on any individual or horse. This year’s celebration weekend hosted the largest group of attendees to date, representing 22 states and two international countries.

If you were unable to join the festivities in Amarillo, AQHA is excited to provide video coverage for the events that took place during the Celebration. The American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame Fireside Chat and the Induction Banquet are available to view on AQHA’s YouTube channel, and we are sharing a link to photos from the event.
