2022 OQHA Official Handbook

Congress Youth Team, we will calculate additional shows beyond 10, one at a time until the tie is broken. If a tie still exists with respect to a particular class, the age factor will determine the representative, first by show age and then, if necessary, by actual calendar age, the older exhibitor to be chosen. Members of the Ohio Congress Youth Team shall be permitted to show in only one event in the NYATT. Points will be compiled on a one horse, one youth basis in all events except horsemanship, showmanship and equitation where points are accumulated for the event if more than one horse is shown during the qualifying period.
