Bits of Wisdom with Bill Brewer is a rare conversation with one of the most influential figures in the history of the American Quarter Horse Association. In this episode, Al sits down with longtime AQHA horseman and Hall of Fame inductee Bill Brewer, whose career shaped the Association for nearly four decades.

Bill shares how a kid from southwestern Oklahoma dreaming of being a cowboy found his way into Amarillo, starting as an advertising representative for The Quarter Horse Journal before climbing the ranks to eventually serve as AQHA's Executive Vice President. Along the way, he helped change the Association's entire business model, expanded membership programs, elevated major events, championed youth involvement, supported international growth, and strengthened AQHA's role in the broader equine industry.

Al and Bill reminisce about the evolution of AQHA, the people who built it, and the moments that defined entire eras. They share stories about legendary horsemen and visionaries— including Rick Johns, founder of what we now know as the Sun Circuit.

From early registry challenges to worldwide expansion, from the Quarter Horse's role on ranches to its rise in global sport, Bill offers a perspective few people have: one shaped by decades of leadership, innovation, service, and passion.

It's a conversation rich with history, insight, and gratitude for the horse that brought us all here.
