Logged hours will only be recorded whilst the membership is financial; b) Not be currently participating in any other type of point scoring or competitive event; c) Ride a registered Quarter Horse belonging to a financial member. The rider does not have to own the horse/s ridden. ie. hours can be earned on more than one (1) horse; d) Participants must complete an official application form (available from the AQHA office) and return it to the office with the application fee as determined by the Board from time to time; e) On approval and processing of the application, official log sheets will be forwarded which are to be completed each time you ride. Once the required number of hours has been logged for a reward, forward the completed log sheets to the AQHA office to receive your personalised reward. Hours that can be logged include, exercising a horse, trail riding, mustering etc; f) Awards will be given when the following hours are attained: 50 hours, 100 hours, 250 hours, 500 hours, 750 hours, 1000 hours,1500 hours, 2000 hours, 5000 hours. 66.
