The online essay contest is exclusively for AQHA members who are current members as of June 5. Members can log on to www.aqhamembers.com\u00a0 anytime before July 7, and in 150 words or less, tell how they need help from a Team Wrangler member with their American Quarter Horse in preparation for showing at either an AQHA All-Novice Show, Regional Experience or in AQHA classes at an open show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create opportunities for those who haven\u2019t been able to compete because of lack of direction or knowledge to have the ability to finally do so with professional help,\u201d said AQHA Executive Vice President Bill Brewer. \u201cThis contest will allow for an individual to become more educated and confident with their showing skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

AQHA will fly at least two Team Wrangler members to the winner\u2019s barn to help the rider prepare for their first show. They will help polish the American Quarter Horse and prep the winner before leaving home. The Team wrangler members will also be at the show to ease the nerves and give last-minute pointers before the winner enters the arena.
