97. RIDERS WITH DISABILITIES
To provide Show Management with the option to include
equestrians with disabilities competition, Australian Quarter
Horse Association (AQHA) has adopted these rules and
provided an achievement points and awards system for
participants.
In doing so, AQHA does not assume responsibility for
safety of participants. Since it is Show Management which
conducts these classes and controls both the physical
facility and all aspects of the classes, responsibility for
participant‟s safety remains solely with Show Management.
At any time in this section of the rule book where a handler
is mentioned, that handler is optional and if a handler is
used then they must be dressed appropriately being
western style pants/jeans, enclosed safe shoes, shirt with
sleeves and a weste &
