At the Ford Youth World, AQHYA members have the opportunity to win championship titles outside of the arena, too. Youth members have the chance to compete in an array of contests from judging to speech to art and photography. Ford Youth World teams will also compete in the team spirit contest. The 2016 AQHYA high-point winners will be recognized at the Ford Youth World. For a complete list of last year’s winners, see the 2016 April issue of The American Quarter Horse Journal.
Attendees of the Ford Youth World will also have the chance to learn tips from AQHA Professional Horsemen at the free Nutrena Ride the Pattern clinics. At the clinics, Professional Horsemen show the audience how they would complete a specific pattern from that show. Clinicians, times and locations will be announced in 2017.
