Welcome to the Kansas Quarter Horse Association

2025 was a great year for KQHA and 2026 looks like another busy year heading our way. 

First order of business is membership renewals. We have a new form for you to use, and it is posted on the website. Dues remain the same at $20.00 for individual and $60.00 for family.

Celebrating Kansas show sponsored by the Kansas Amateur Quarter Horse Association will be held April 30 – May 3 at the Expocentre in Topeka.   Check the website for details and showbills.  

Like all organizations, we are always looking for funding and sponsorships. Last year we received a $500 donation from DeVaughn James Injury Lawyers. They are running a contest among all the non-profits they donated to last year and will give the winning non-profit $2,500.00. To help us win this donation, please go to the DeVaughn James website. There are 2 tabs at the top of the page, and we are listed under the tab that says “Vote: Best of Pay It Forward”. You will have to enter your information in order for the vote to count. They have assured me that your information is required only to be sure there is only one vote per person recorded. Your information will not be shared or sold by them and in fact, it is illegal for them to do that and illegal for them to contact you. If you feel comfortable, please vote. The vote ends December 28, 2025. Thank you. 

In an effort to establish more contact with our membership, we are initiating a group e-mail, and we plan to share news and information via this e-mail periodically. We plan to send out our first one in the near future. 

As KQHA approaches its 75th anniversary, our officers, board and members are looking forward to many more exciting events. We plan to continue working hard to support this horse industry we all love. Come join us for a great ride into the future!
