The Iowa Quarter Horse Association (IQHA) has offered state-approved Walk Trot Western Pleasure classes for several years within the Amateur and Youth Divisions. New in 2016, AQHA-approved Walk Trot classes may be offered at shows. It is important for exhibitors to note that the rules for each are different and the classes are not the same. Points earned in AQHA-approved Walk Trot classes will be kept separately from points earned in IQHA-approved Walk Trot classes for IQHA Year End Awards.
An IQHA-approved show may opt to include either or both versions of the Walk Trot classes within their show. It is very important that exhibitors be aware of the rules of each and know what they are entering at the IQHA-approved shows.
