Sire or dam of entered horses may be nominated. This is optional. Nominators receive publicity for their mare/stallion through the VQHA newsletter, Facebook posts, and press releases distributed to statewide media outlets and the VQHA website. This publicity will highlight individual breeders/owners and help position Virginia as a viable place to shop for horses. See entry form for nomination information.
Nomination fee is $10 fee per sire or dam (not paid by lifetime program members)
