Title: They still ride good horses
Description: "At a meeting during the American Quarter Horse (AQHA) Convention in 1988, the Executive Committee authorized historian Don Hedgpeth to write a book about the 50-year history of the Association. The book was to be ready for distribution at the 1990 convention when AQHA celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2010, the AQHA Executive Committee authorized the publication of another book, one that was to detail the Association's history from 1990 through the end of 2014. The book was to be ready for distribution at the 2015 convention, when the American Quarter Horse Association celebrated its 75th anniversary. This is that book. Hedgpeth's book was called 'They Rode Good Horses.' He explained that a friend of his once told him that 'A man who rode good horses was usually a good man.' This book, too, is about the good men and good women of the American Quarter Horse Association. It's about the trials and tribulations of what is still the largest equine breed registry in the world. And it's about how those men and women still ride good horses. The AQHA headquarters is located in Amarillo, Texas"--
