Bringing American Quarter Horse Enthusiasts Together

To be suitable for western riding a horse must have a quiet reliable temperament. It must be able to react immediately and responsively to it's riders instructions. Any horse possessing these qualities will respond positively to western riding techniques.

Around the world many breeds are extensively trained and used in the western style.  However, if there is one breed of horse to be classified as the most popular then it is the American Quarter Horse .  Nowadays the Quarter Horse is proving its versatility once again as a sports and pleasure horse. The  pure and part bred Quarter Horses can be found competing successfully in every equestrian discipline from show jumping, through dressage and polo, to all of the western disciplines including Reining, recently recognised as an international discipline.

Even if you don't own an American Quarter Horse, and many of our members don't; you can be part of the Quarter Horse family by joining the AQHA.UK.  This association is the only association in the UK affiliated to the American Parent Association the AQHA and offers a whole host of benefits , including our popular quarterly magazine "AQHA.UK Journal " .
