The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to have valued partner Wrangler extend its contract with the Association. Wrangler is the official western jeans and western shirts of AQHA. AQHA has an elite team of corporate partners that offer benefits and opportunities to the Association’s members while also supporting AQHA events.
“Wrangler and AQHA have been great partners for many years,” said Karl Stressman, AQHA chief executive officer. “Back when I worked for Wrangler, I attended several AQHA functions. I sat in the President’s room on numerous occasions and never imagined I would someday be sitting on the other side of the table, representing the AQHA. These are two of the outstanding brands in the western industry working together and that is just how it’s supposed to be.”
Wrangler has been an AQHA corporate partner since 1989. In addition to being the official western jeans and western shirts of AQHA, Wrangler is a sponsor of the AQHA Convention; AQHA Level 1 Championships; AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse World Championships; Youth Excellence Seminar; AQHYA World Championship Show; AQHA Golf Classic; AQHA World Championship Show; AQHA Racing Challenge Championships; AQHA Ambassador’s Program; and Horseback Riding Program.
“Wrangler is proud to continue our long-standing partnership with AQHA, an organization that shares our deep-rooted commitment to the western lifestyle, horsemanship and heritage,” said Jeff Chadwick, director of western special events for Wrangler. “This collaboration is more than just a sponsorship; it’s a celebration of the values that define both of our brands. We look forward to building on this incredible partnership and continuing to support the AQHA community for many years to come.”
Wrangler and AQHA have also teamed up to support educate the equine industry and highlight influential industry leaders through Team Wrangler and the Wrangler Women of Influence. Team Wrangler is a team of AQHA Professional Horsemen who promote educational outreach for the horse industry around the world. Wrangler Woman of Influence recognizes game-changing women who have invested their lives in making significant contributions to AQHA through their career and day-to-day life, and whose vision and creativity have altered the landscape of the industry.
