Notice to all OQHA Exhibitors
Posted: May 13, 2013
 
We are VERY pleased to announce that AQHA has granted approval to move our dates for the  2 day / 3 judge show that was previously held in June at Teen Ranch.

The new show dates will now be August 22 & 23 with a split/combined format with 3 AQHA judges running in combination with the OQHBF and Fall Finale show August 24 &25 with 2 AQHA judges and Futurity classes.

The show will continue to be held at the Idlerton Fairgrounds and OQHA is working with Area 1 to format stalls for those exhibitors who attend the Summer Sizzler in Ilderton the week prior.

Watch for more details as they become available – this is a great opportunity to show to 5 AQHA judges in 4 days and an even better opportunity if you start with the 4 day Area 1 Summer Sizzler and stay on to the Fall Finale/OQHBF and show to a total of 9 judges in just over a week!

Be sure to update your calendars and plan to attend - this will be one show you won't want to miss!

2014 Youth World Cup
Posted: May 7, 2013
 
What is the AQHA Youth World Cup?
A major initiative of the Canadian Quarter Horse Association (CQHA) is to co-ordinate and field a team to represent Canada at biennial (every two year) competitions of the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Youth World Cup. These events are held at various locations around the world. Each host country provides a pool of horses of various ability levels and the teams draw to determine the horses to be ridden. Two to three members of each country's team compete in Western Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, Western Riding, Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Showmanship, Trail, Reining and Cutting classes. Funding for travel expenses for Team Canada is cost-shared by AQHA/CQHA, provincial/regional Quarter Horse Associations, corporate and/or individual sponsors, and team members’ families. Each participating country may select up to five youth team competing riders, two alternate riders and three non-competing youth to represent their country. Canada has entered a team for every competition since 1986.

How is Team Canada Chosen?
Beginning in the year prior to the event (in the odd numbered years) The CQHA's Youth World Cup Committee solicits applications for positions on Team Canada. The positions are one Team Coach, and one Team Manager (both volunteers) and up to ten youth team members, five of whom will be designated as riders, two as alternate riders and three leadership members. Once Team Canada's Coach and Manager have been appointed, they receive the team members' applications, review the materials submitted, and interview the candidates. Following this process, the Coach and Manager recommend a slate of up to ten youth team members to the CQHA's Youth World Cup Committee, which reviews and approves their selections. Youth team members are appointed and they begin the process of fund raising to cover their travel and competition costs and coming together as a competitive teem to compete in the following year (the even numbered years).

All Applications must be completed and submitted no later than July 31, 2013. (Postmark)
