AQHA announces a new award for 13-&-under competitors at the 2012 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show.
The American Quarter Horse Journal, May 21, 2012 - The American Quarter Horse Association will recognize the top three 13-&-under competitors in every class at the 2012 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show.
The top three 13-&-under competitors at the Ford Youth World August 3-11 in Oklahoma City, will receive an award, designed by AQHA's new trophy company, Awards Recognition Concepts. This achievement will also appear on the official records of the horse and exhibitor.

"Also, AQHA will once again recognize the top three Intermediate exhibitors in each class at the Ford Youth World with a special Intermediate award," Graves added. "There are many great opportunities this year to be recognized for your performances at the Ford Youth World."
