It takes a lot of hard work, and good horses to win this award!! In from the American Quarter Horse Association!
As the 2026 AQHA Racing Challenge season closes, four division winners are honored for their efforts in the program. The AQHA Racing Challenge has for decades increased the opportunity for American Quarter Horses around the world and has distributed well over $100 million to horsemen since its inception.
The AQHA Racing Challenge year-end AQHA Racing champion owner, Wrangler champion breeder, Wrangler champion trainer and Wrangler champion jockey are determined over the racing season through points accumulated in regional qualifying races.
Canadian juggernaut Jerry Stojan captures another AQHA Racing Challenge Champion Owner title. This is the Grand Prairie, Alberta-based owner’s third title. This year he raced the likes of John Deere Century Mile Juvenile Challenge winner Great Falls. He will win a custom buckle and cash in recognition of the achievement.
