AQHA Refund?

Hey so I have a registered AQHA gelding, but I’ve never shown him in AQHA affiliated shows or anything. The only thing I’ve done associated with them was get his papers transferred into my name when I bought him years ago. Out of the blue they (AQHA) randomly sent me a check for $10 at the end of the year? It was labeled as a refund? Like hey I’m not complaining by any means, just curious as to why they would send me some free moolah?
Is anyone else getting this fun mail?

I got one for $5. I looked up a horses current owner but other than that, I have not paid them anything. I guess I can get some Starbucks :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I have friends that are receiving ROM certificates that were earned 2+ years ago. Several have long since sold the horse in question.

Looks like someone is doing some serious catch up.
