The IQHA Horseback Riding Rewards Program is the largest all-breed horseback riding reward program in the state of Illinois. It operates similar to frequent flyer programs run by the nation's airlines. In addition to end-of-year recognition, participants who achieve certain riding hour milestones receive special prizes for their accomplishments. The program currently rewards rider for number of riding hours at 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 levels. To date, 67 riders in the IQHA program have logged a whopping 10,574 hours!

The Illinois Quarter Horse Association promotes statewide interest in horse ownership and supports all breed equine development in the state of Illinois. It is an affiliate of the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), the world's largest equine breed registry, and has the expressed purpose of promoting interest in riding, breeding, raising, training, exhibiting and racing the American Quarter Horse. The AQHA underwrites the IQHA's popular All Breeds Charity Trail Rides.
