The Calgary Stampede is proud to once again partner with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)! The AQHA has impacted the lives of horsemen and women around the world–ensuring the unique qualities of this breed does not parish. The AQHA strives to provide beneficial services to both their members and their American Quarter horses.
If you’ve been to Stampede Park during Stampede time, you may have seen the AQHA booth in Horse Haven in the Agricultural Barns!

AQHA members are passionate about the care of the American Quarter Horse and the vast lifestyle created by the world’s most popular horse. The Stampede shares this passion for horses by presenting exceptional equine experiences year-round and during the Greatest Outdoor Show in July.
The AQHA booth will offer services such as papers transferring, expediting registration papers and American Quarter Horse education.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of AQHA, please stop by Horse Haven to wish them a happy anniversary! Also, go check out American Quarter Horses in action at the Scotiabank Saddledome:
