AQHA STATEMENT OF POSITION

Quarter Horses, while maintaining the [blank_start]integrity[blank_end] of the breed. Further, AQHA encourages American
Quarter Horse [blank_start]ownership[blank_end] and participation. AQHA actively [blank_start]protects[blank_end] the American Quarter Horse by

• Every American Quarter Horse, all other [blank_start]horses[blank_end] and all [blank_start]animals[blank_end], shall, at all times, be treated humanely and
with dignity, respect and [blank_start]compassion[blank_end].

[blank_start]owners[blank_end], [blank_start]trainers[blank_end] and [blank_start]exhibitors[blank_end] are continually responsible for the well-being and humane
treatment of any American Quarter Horse entrusted to their care.
