-Make sure to attend 3 weekends and show to 6 total judges in order to qualify for a year end award! The shows held in August will be the last chance to accomplish that other than the Hope in the Heartland show, which will have open halter, youth and amateur horsemanship, and the youth and amateur showmanship but that is the last chance for any non-ranch classes. Thank you!

-Membership renewals are posted here on the website! Dues remain the same at $20.00 for individuals and $60.00 for families!

-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.

-This year 4 Weekend circuits will be awarding buckles for the high point AQHA youth and amateur at each weekend. Below is an example picture of the buckles! In addition, KQHA will be sponsoring daily prizes for the results for each AQHA judge to all amateur and youth classes.  Daily prizes will be varied at the shows and may include ribbons, grooming supplies and other horse related items. 

 The 4 shows will be:

-PHEK Spring Kickoff held in Salina on May 23 & 24

-Salt City I held in Lyons on June 6-7

-Salt City II held in Lyons on August 21-23

-PHEK Summer Sizzler held in Salina August 29-30

 The PHEK shows will be offering a $60 all day fee with entry fees set at $12/class at the August show. This does not include the $10/judge administrative fee so this is a great place to get your feet wet at an AQHA show!
