The AQHA Level 1 West Championships got underway on Thursday, April 18th and is running through the 22nd in Las Vegas, NV. Rookie and Level 1 are the two levels of AQHA competition designed for beginner to minimally accomplished competitors, respectively. The Level 1 Championships were designed to celebrate the accomplishments of these riders and their horses in an environment that provides education and fun competition.
