AQHA Waives Qualifying For 2021 VRH World Championships
On Dec 31, 2020 AQHA announced that the traditional qualification requirements for the 2021 AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse World Championships and AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge Finals scheduled for June 22 - 27, 2021 at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma would be waived.
“Even though VRH qualification was rolled over from 2020 to 2021, due to the 2020 AQHA VRH World being cancelled, we believe it is in the best interest of our exhibitors and their American Quarter Horses to waive qualifying for the 2021 AQHA VRH World and AQHA RHC Finals,” said Karen McCuistion, AQHA senior director of member programs. “In a traditional year, we would continue with the qualifying requirements, especially because we understand the impact on our affiliates; however, under these extenuating circumstances, we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to compete in 2021, especially because most affiliates were only able to hold a fraction of the events compared to a typical year. We also took into consideration that the rolled qualification would not benefit our youth and amateurs with new horses or horses that were too young to qualify in 2020. We still encourage exhibitors to compete at the qualifying events now through February 28, especially to have the opportunity for the chance to win the $20,000 John Deere VRH Double-Qualifying Incentive.”
AQHA Modifies Qualifying For 2021 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Show
Changes were also announced for the Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show, tentatively scheduled for July 28 - August 8 at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City, OK.
AQHA has established two options to compete at the 2021 Ford Youth World. AQHYA exhibitors will have the choice to nationally qualify by the end of the qualifying period, April 30, 2021, or meet their state/provincial affiliate requirements. Affiliates will not have a cap on the total number of entries per class or for the show.
“The decision to waive traditional qualifying for the 2021 Ford Youth World was based on extensive discussion, comparison of previous years’ qualifying data and the cancellation of approximately 30% of the qualifying shows since May 1, 2020, when the qualifying period began,” said Justin Billings, AQHA chief show officer. “We anticipate continued effects of the pandemic, especially in the harder hit areas of the world where many lockdowns remain in place.”
AQHA To Continue To Monitor Qualifying For Open, Amateur World Championships
At this time no changes have been announced for the Open and Amateur World Championships. AQHA staff members and the executive committee will continue to monitor events, making changes when necessary.
Stormont Vail Events Center Reserved Until June 1, 2021 For Emergency Medical Purposes

At the present time KQHA is looking into alternative sites for Let It Ride QHS. The amateurs will be relocating to Hutchinson for Celebrating Kansas. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
