Ohio NYATT Teams Win Big at the Congress
Each year, the world’s largest National Youth Activity Team Tournament (NYATT) is held at the All American Quarter Horse Congress and attracts teams from across the United States and Canada.
The 2022 NYATT hosted 41 teams and offered two divisions of competition. This split is only for the awards ceremony so that each division competes for separate top ten division awards.
Each team may consist of 1-14 riders, with no more than two members competing in each of the seven NYATT classes: Barrel Racing, Horsemanship, Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle, Reining, Showmanship and Western Pleasure. To determine overall team standings, points are awarded for each individual’s efforts in every class, with first place receiving 10 points, second place nine points, and so on.
In the Division I, the Ohio Quarter Horse Association NYATT team claimed the second spot behind Michigan Quarter Horse Youth Association.
Ohio Michigan Indiana QHA took 6th place, Southern Ohio QHA won 8th place, and Northern Ohio QHA placed 14th.
The Eastern Ohio QHA team took home first place honors in the Division II! The team is advised by Heather Sands and consisted of Cheyenne Brand, Jocelyn Canter, Carolyn Craddock, Payton Kiphart, Piper Kiphart, Addison Leonard, and Gabriella Madison Lohrenz.
