For the first time, The Ohio Quarter Horse Association (OQHA) is proud to announce that the All American Quarter Horse Congress (AAQHC) will host two separate Western youth draw-based competitions beginning with the Youth Equestrian Development Association (YEDA) on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 and Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) on Thursday, October 8, 2020 in Columbus, Ohio.

With this partnership, OQHA will cross-promote with YEDA and IEA in a variety of methods that will benefit all three organizations to reach their goals.

As live auctions are postponed and pivoted to online due to the current worldwide health situation, Plus Online Sales is one step ahead. Since 2017 the innovative company’s goal has been to take the online livestock buying experience further by combining the convenience of internet sales with the excitement and exposure of a large, active audience in an auction atmosphere.

High-point standings for 2019 are finalized and the all-around high-point horses and exhibitors are named.

The American Quarter Horse Association recognizes hardworking individuals and their American Quarter Horses at the end of each year through the Association’s high-point awards.
