America’s Horse, February 15, 2008 – The American Quarter Horse Association’s new membership card comes with the same great benefits, but now it’s more durable. The new membership card is plastic, features member name and identification number and is produced onsite at AQHA headquarters in Amarillo.
The card’s new design is more colorful to match the boldness of the American Quarter Horse spirit. Made of material that will withstand the elements on the trail or in the barn, the new AQHA membership card can go anywhere and is a card that will certainly turn heads when presented at events.
AQHA is not only improving the card, the Association is making strides to improve memberships with the introduction of great initiatives.
Find out all an AQHA membership has to offer through the new online membership orientation. AQHA knows members want to spend time with their horses not opening mail. In order to keep members up to date, AQHA offers personalized mailings to keep members informed on the segment of the American Quarter Horse industry that interests them.
“We know AQHA members love to spend time with their horses in the great outdoors, and we want to do our part to help the environment,” said AQHA Executive Vice President Bill Brewer. “Personalized mailings equal a reduction in the amount of mail sent to each member therefore reducing paper usage and waste.”
An AQHA membership is the gateway to unlimited information, top-class education, hundreds of dollars in AQHA Corporate Partner discounts and much, much more. AQHA members receive a free subscription to the award-winning magazine America’s Horse and discounts on the greatest educational programs and DVDs. Members receive incentives on Ford vehicle purchases, savings on selected John Deere equipment, special member rates on FedEx shipping and many other corporate partner offers.
The new membership card still comes with the greatest benefits of any equine breed association. AQHA membership opens the door to AQHA trail rides, the Horseback Riding Program, Regional Experiences and many other programs. Members receive their first $10 in AQHA records free each month. Members can use AQHA’s vast Internet records to research the history and ancestry of their horses as well as the legends of the breed. AQHA members also receive free admission to the new, state-of-the-art American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, which allows visitors to connect with America’s Horse in ways never before possible.
