Indiana Quarter Horse Association Inc

Programs: Horse shows: over twenty shows were sanctioned by the indiana quarter horse association during calendar year 2014. These events gave breeders and exhibitors opportunities to compete for awards and prize money, which allows breeders to continually strive to improve and maintain the integrity of the breed. Each sanctioned show educates and demonstrates to exhibitors, breeders and the public the humane treatment and well-being of the american quarter horse and that all horses and animals be treated humanely and with dignity, respect and compassion.

One hundred twenty-five year end awards were awarded to youth, amateur and professional members of the association who showed and competed in indiana quarter horse association sanctioned shows.
