Dear Members,
It is with great pleasure on behalf of myself and the Board of Directors of the AQHA to welcome you all to Q26.
Again as in the past two years, we have record entries which shows us that our industry is thriving which points to a great future for our breed.
While the rest of the world is playing political games, I hope you all enjoy the next 10 days while you are in Tamworth and I invite you to visit our office across the road to look at the many displays there which will help you understand our past horses and members which has helped shape our breed to be one of the largest equine registries in Australia.
The office staff has worked hard in the backgrounds to ensure this will be a great show for all and I welcome our international judges to Australia and hope you enjoy your time with us.
I would also like to welcome our show event team who will ensure the smooth running of our show and of course thank you to our members showing here once again and welcome to our members which have not attended before and I wish you all a successful show and a safe return home.
With regards Ricky Glen( AQHA President)
THE AQHA DIRECTORS AND STAFF WISH ALL COMPETITORS EVERY SUCCESS
