The program recognizes and rewards AQHA members for time spent with any breed of horse.

Each enrollee receives an official AQHA log sheet to record time spent driving or riding a horse and submits the form to AQHA by Dec. 21.
Awards are given based on number of hours logged and verified. After 50 hours, the participant receives a recognition patch. Six other levels provide other awards. At 2,000 hours, the participant receives a certificate of completion and merchandise from Drysdales Western Store.
