Horse Illustrated Magazine

The Best Remuda Award is presented each year by the American Quarter Horse Association and Bayer Animal Health to honor the contributions that ranch horses have made to the heritage of the American Quarter Horse. The term remuda means a group of working horses bred by the ranch specifically to work and pen cattle.

Any ranch that has five or more American Quarter Horse mares used to produce horses for ranch work and is a member of AQHA is eligible for this award.

Get more information about the Best Remuda Award or request an application. Applications for the 2010 AQHA-Bayer Best Remuda Award are due December 1, 2009.
