A Message from Nebraska Quarter Horse Association President, Debby Brehm  Join NQHA and Enroll in the AQHA Horseback Riding Program Hello fellow enthusiast of the American Quarter Horse! I am Debby Brehm, National Director for the American Quarter Horse Association and 2011 Nebraska Quarter Horse Association (NQHA) President. NQHA is a non-profit state affiliate of the American Quarter Horse Association. Our mission is to represent the American Quarter Horse in our state by placing emphasis on owners, breeders, trainers and competitors. The standards of honesty, integrity, fair play and friendliness guide the horse activities in Nebraska. You may not show your American Quarter Horse in formal competition, but you enjoy time spent in the saddle. Whether it is trail riding or simply riding in your pasture, we would like to invite you to join NQHA. We have implemented a year-end recognition program just for recreational enthusiasts. Awards will be presented at our annual end-of-year banquet. For many years, we have awarded beautiful tack items, as well as gift certificates, to horse show exhibitors, spending $19,000 on year-end items. This year we want to reach out to riders who enjoy their horse ownership in other ways. To become eligible for year-end awards in the recreational category, you must be a current member of AQHA or AQHYA, join the AQHA’s Horseback Riding Program and join NQHA. AQHA’s Horseback Riding Program is an excellent way to tabulate the hours you spend riding, and it is easy to log hours. For more information on enrollment fees, awards and hour levels, visit www.aqha.com/riding. Not only will you receive awards from AQHA, now you can earn awards with NQHA. The top five Horseback Riding Program participants who meet the criteria will be eligible for the year-end awards. A membership with NQHA is a great value at $40 a year. Benefits of membership within NQHA include •    Monthly magazine showcasing people and events in Nebraska •    Eligibility for end-of-year awards •    Invitation to attend annual trail ride •    Youth scholarships •    Youth competition on Nebraska’s youth teams both at Congress and Youth World I hope you will consider joining NQHA and AQHA’s Horseback Riding Program to begin recording your hours.
