Each youth must be a current year member of the American Quarter Horse Youth Association. Applications for youth affiliation and/or youth affiliation of International Associations must be on file with AQHA and updated annually.
2. Individual youth members may participate at the AQHYA World Championship Show; however, they must represent the country in which they reside. If participating in the AQHYA World Championship Show, the individual may lease a horse to avoid the cost of transporting the horse overseas, or must be the recorded owner of the horse. However, all records must be complete in the AQHA office by July 1 the year of the show.

Absolutely no late entries will be accepted and no entries will be accepted via telephone. An entry packet will be provided to each countries’ affiliated association youth adviser.
2. Individuals leasing horses or bringing their own, via transporting, are responsible for the horse’s feed, bedding and other maintenance costs required. AQHA is not responsible for the care, safety or management of these horses at any time. Horses being leased must meet all health requirements as outlined in AQHYA World Championship Show rules and regulations.
3. Horses acquired for international competitors may not be nationally qualified in the United States or Canada for the AQHYA World Championship Show. In addition, horses secured for competition at the AQHYA World Show by an international exhibitor may not compete in the same event at the AQHA World Championship Show. (For example a horse leased to compete in western riding for the AQHYA World Championship Show may not be used in western riding at the AQHA World Championship Show).
4. Two horses will be allowed per rider. Stallions are strictly prohibited.

CLASSES

FEES

2. All fees, including stall and entry fees, must be sent to AQHA in one check or money order by the team adult adviser. No fees will be accepted from individual team members.

RESIDENCY

1. Team representatives must be bona fide residents of the country they are representing. Residency is determined by the state or country of domicile of the parents or court appointed guardian, which is the country where such persons actually reside, having intent to make it their permanent home.
2. Individual youth may serve as representatives of a country in which they

   are not a bona fide resident only in the case where there does not

   already exist in their country an affiliated AQHYA association. In that

   case, those youth must represent a country affiliate which borders their

   own country, and must have the permission of the bordering country’s

   adult adviser or youth president.
