AQHLead
Developing young leaders in the equine industry.
The AQHLead program, presented by Farnam, is designed for young adults, ages 21-35, to help support their development as leaders in the equine industry. Participants attend leadership-focused webinars, have access to a network of mentors, and receive grant-funded travel to ultimately gain more insight into their roles and impact in the industry. Selected young adults may also apply for one of five additional travel grants of $1,800 each to attend a major industry event or place of interest. AQHLead is supported by a grant from the Dogwood Foundation, Dan and Stephanie Janis and other support through the American Quarter Horse Foundation.
To be considered for AQHLead, applicants must be current AQHA members between the ages of 21-35. In addition to development opportunities provided to each AQHLead class, grants may be awarded to applicants to help offset the cost of travel and participation. Participants will be chosen by a selection committee.
Complete the application in full by midnight Central Time on December 31 of each year. Applications may be completed in one session or saved and completed in stages by the deadline; please allow adequate time to complete the application including short answer questions, resume, two letters of recommendation, and a headshot.
