Year End Points updated to include the Great Lakes Classic.

If you do not see your name in the standings, please check your MQHA membership expiration date. Additionally, AQHA open division classes still require that the owner is a current MQHA member. Please report any errors within 10 days of the points being posted. Errors reported after 10 days will only be corrected if it is an error on our end.

All year end points for All Around Standings will include all of the classes within the division (including Western Pleasure, Ranch Riding, and Working Western Rail), however, at the point where the final point standings for All Arounds are tallied, we will remove the points from EITHER the WORKING WESTERN RAIL or the RANCH RIDING, whichever has fewer points. This will allow all horses to compete and utilize their “best” toward the year end award. Year end awards for the individual class will still be given based on placings.
