Youth applying for the AQHYA National Racing Experience are required to participate in the Racing Skillathon Contest. Their results will count toward their cumulative total in the program. The National Racing Experience is an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bank of America Challenge Championships that gives AQHYA members a behind the scenes look at American Quarter Horse racing.  As a reminder, applications for the 2022 National Youth Racing Experience are due September 1.

The AQHYA National Racing Experience is held in conjunction with the Bank of America Challenge Championships, October 20-23, at Horseshoe Indianapolis in Shelbyville, Indiana. For more information, visit www.aqha.com/youth-racing-experience.
