HQC Nationals is a multi-phase event that puts the top scoring participants, who advanced through HQC Levels One and Two, to the ultimate test. Participants will take a written exam, a horsemastership/identification exam, and a final practicum to demonstrate their mastery of practical horsemanship knowledge.
