Due to the inherent risk of equine activities, AQHA, MQHA, and/or show management and staff are not responsible for injury to or death of a participant, or accidents, injury to horses, or lost/stolen items.
MQHA RETURN CHECK POLICY: The return of a check issued to MQHA for non-sufficient funds will result in a $25.00 returned check fee being added to the unpaid balance. We will notify the individual of the returned check with the updated total due to MQHA within 30 days. We will also offer the option to pay by credit card which will have a 4% credit card service fee added. If this balance due is not paid in full within 30 days, our policy will be to notify AQHA of the unpaid balance for collection. If MQHA receives 2 returned checks from the same individual, MQHA will no longer accept checks as a form of payment from this individual.

After becoming a professional and working for several top trainers, he opened his own business in the greater Atlanta area for the all-around horse and competitor. Since 2017, Clint and his customers have earned championships at the NSBA World, Congress, and AQHA World Show in showmanship, horsemanship, trail, western riding, hunter under saddle, and equitation.
