The "Half" To Ride Program rewards you for spending time riding or driving the horse you "half" to love-your half quarter horse. The "Half" To Ride Program achievements become part of your Half Quarter Horse's performance record. The "Half" To Ride Program allows you to ride at your own pace, set your own goals and earn rewards for doing what you love. There is no time limit, simply maintain a current membership in AHQHR, ride your Half Quarter Horse and record your time.
