The
newly elected Officers and Board Members of the New York State Quarter

that will be held at the Cobleskill Fair Grounds in 2012. Their first
recognized AQHA show in May will be the 11th and 12th, sponsored by the
Youth of NYSQHA. This show will be split/combined/double judged. On
Saturday Evening, May 12th, at 6:00 p.m., NYSQHA is offering a FREE
clinic to any interested individuals who would like to audit or ride in
this fun and educational event. Sue Howe will be our clinician and the
clinic will be on Hunt Seat Equitation. All are welcome to participate
in this FREE clinic. Participants can expect to gain insight on
strategies to ride patterns while maintaining correct equitation.
On
Sunday, May 13th, NYSQHA is hosting an Open Show, in conjunction with
NYSSHA, and will be offering a variety of Open Classes along with AQHA
Rookie and Novice Youth and Novice Amateur Classes. The purpose of
the Rookie level class in particular is to reach AQHA members of all
ages and riding levels. The Rookie Classes are true entry-level classes
for new and current AQHA members.
Eligibility for a Rookie-level class depends on both the horse and the
rider’s show records: For a horse to be eligible to compete in a
Rookie-level class, that horse must have earned fewer than 10 lifetime
points in that class in any division. For an exhibitor to be
eligible to compete in a Rookie-level class, that exhibitor must have
earned fewer than 10 lifetime points in that class in any division.
Thus, to compete in a Rookie level class, the horse and rider must each
have earned fewer than 10 points in that particular class.
Open,
Amateur, Novice Amateur, Youth, Novice Youth and Rookie-level points all
count toward Rookie-level eligibility. In 2012, AQHA is offering a
FREE Trial Membership for individuals who have not participated or shown
in AQHA approved shows in the previous 5 years. This membership is for
all individuals who meet the requirements for Novice and Amateur
eligibility. Applications will be available at our show.
The
Novice Amateur Division is another great way to show in AQHA Classes and
is open to all individuals who have not obtained 25 AQHA points in
Halter and Performance classes in Novice Amateur, Amateur, Novice Youth,
Youth and Open Division.

We look forward to seeing you at our clinic and shows in 2012!
