Give back to our horse and its welfare by challenging the frontiers of knowledge.

Our horses give us their all; whether in the thrill of victorious moments in the show ring or in the solace we find in their companionship. The American Quarter Horse Foundation is committed to giving back to the horses we love by challenging the frontiers of knowledge through research.  

The American Quarter Horse Foundation fills a vital role by being just one of four private institutions funding research. Since 1960, more than $13 million has been awarded to various colleges and Universities to further our understanding of equine management and health and improve the overall welfare of our horse.
