Through its direct affiliation with the American Quarter Horse Association (“AQHA”) and by working in conjunction with such organizations as the American Horse Council and the Colorado Horsemen’s Council, the Association is continually striving to help the horseman.
The Association has the distinction of being one of the oldest active regional affiliations of AQHA, celebrating 70 years of the organization in 2016.
