HOW TO BID The American Quarter Horse Association is committed to the promotion of the ranch horse. There are programs to help ranchers to market their ranch-bred American Quarter Horses and opportunities for ranch-bred horses to be showcased in competition. RANCHING HERITAGE BREEDERS PROGRAM Ranching Heritage Breeders are AQHA member-owned ranches and individuals who represent longevity, honesty and integrity in raising quality American Quarter Horses and uphold ranching heritage traditions. Ranching Heritage Breeders must breed and register at least five American Quarter Horse foals each year and must maintain a remuda of horses used to operate a working cattle operation. The ranch also must have received an AQHA 10-year breeder award to be eligible for the program. The horses that come from Ranching Heritage Breeders uphold the tradition and heritage of the working cattle ranch and when horses are purchased from a Ranching Heritage Breeder, that great tradition continues. RANCHING HERITAGE CHALLENGES An exclusive opportunity for Ranching Heritage bred-horses, Ranching Heritage Challenge events showcase ranch-bred American Quarter horses. The Challenges offer multiple divisions for various ages and skill levels for both horse and rider. Classes include working ranch horse, ranch riding, team roping and barrel racing. To be eligible, horses must have been bred by a Ranching Heritage Breeder, plus all payments – weanling, yearling, 2-year-old and 3-year-old – must be complete in order to compete. Those payments also generate the purses for Ranching Heritage Challenge events. There will be a AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge Finals held in conjunction with the 2024 AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse World Championships.
