Editor’s Letter
I
by Tracy Bidwell
sincerely hope that everyone is staying cool in this sizzling heat we’ve had the last few weeks! I thought nothing could be worse than all the rain we had this spring, but that’s Ohio for you! The shows around Ohio have been fabulous thus far and I’m looking forward to excellent turnout this August as well. People turned out in droves for the 2011 Region 4 Championship from all over the region and made this show one of the best so far! Our volunteers worked hard to run a wonderful show and they did an excellent job. Everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and took home great prizes donated by AQHA Corporate Sponsors. Next up is the AQHYA World Show, and as always Ohio will be extremely well represented! Congratulations to all of our youth who qualified and good luck! Check out pages 25-26 for more details on the 2011 OQHYA World Show Team! Finally, the OQHA office is in full “Congress Mode,” as October looms closer and closer every day! The entry books have been mailed (and are also available online at www.oqha.com). Don’t forget that entries must be received in the OQHA office by August 25th to avoid late fees! Also, OQHA will be accepting entries online for the first time this year! Check out the website for more details! Good luck to all of our OQHYA members at the 2011 AQHYA World Show and I look forward to seeing everyone at Congress in October!
Forum Dear OQHA, am writing to thank you for your wonderful association. The things that you do for our youth is beyond amazing. I want to especially thank our youth advisor, Kelli Diaz. Last year was one of the most exiciting and challenging years of my life thus far and Kelli was there for me through it all. A lot of people say that we have one of the best youth associations in the United States, and I disagree. In my opinion, we have the best youth association in our nation and we owe so much of that to Kelli Diaz. I want to thank you for the great night at the Ohio Banquet. I hadn’t been there in a number of years and now I wonder why I missed out on such a wonderful time. The food, speakers, awards and dancing were all spectacular. I was generously awarded with more than I expected and more than I will ever need. Thank you so much! As I am nearing the end of my youth years, I am ashamed to think that I have not formally thanked our association before. The Ohio Quarter Horse Association has made my youth career unforgettable and for that, I will be forever grateful! Thank you so much for everything that you do!
I
Sincerely, Molli Lyn Jacobs Dover, Ohio 8

ummer is always a busy, but exciting time of year for those of us in the horse industry. It’s the height of the show season, which means a lot of miles on the truck and trailer, but also wonderful times with friends and family. At OQHA, the 2011 Region 4 Championships has just wrapped up and I’d like to thank everyone who came out and volunteered their weekend to help make this show a success, especially our regional affiliates in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ontario and West Virginia. Many volunteers travelled a long way to help and it was greatly appreciated. I’d also like to thank the staff at OQHA for working so diligently after all late fees were waived. You did a wonderful job before and during the show and your efforts helped make the show a great success! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Region 4 Championships this year. The AQHYA World Championship Show is just around the corner, and I would like to congratulate all of our youth that qualified nationally and in-state. We have 56 youth that will be representing Ohio August 5-13 in Oklahoma City and we wish them the best of luck! Although October is still a few months away, entry books for the 2011 All American Quarter Horse Congress have been mailed. Don’t forget that entries must be received by August 25th this year. Also, OQHA will be accepting entries online for the first time! Check out our website, www.oqha.com, for more details. I hope everyone is staying cool during this hot days of summer and I hope everyone has a good time at their upcoming shows!

helby Friday, of Dublin, Ohio competed for the first time at the 2011 AjPHA World Championship Show, held June 24th July 2nd in Fort Worth, Texas. Under the guidance of Tim and Shannon Gillespie, as well as Rod Safty, Roger Deromedi and Paisley Puthoff, the 15-year-old sophomore took home a World Championship in Novice Youth Hunter Hack aboard her mare, Charismatic Turn.
The pair also won a Reserve World Championship in Novice Youth Working Hunter, 18 and Under and placed fourth in the Hunt Seat Equitation Over Fences, 18 and Under. Friday has been showing Paints since she was eight years old, but only began learning how to jump less than a year ago. Not only was this her first AjPHA World Show, but it was only her second hunter hack class as well and Friday gives all the credit to her horse, “Gabby.” “When I was warming up, Gabby wanted to go too fast toward the fence,” Friday told the Paint Horse Journal. “So I just held her and she was perfect. I was just there for the ride.” Unfortunately, this was Friday’s last performance with Gabby, as she will begin competing in the all-around events with a different mount in the fall.
Ohio Youth Shows More Than Just Horses
J
onathon Hannahs of Utica, Ohio participates in a program called BEST, a youth program of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association that recognizes Ohio’s junior beef exhibitors through a series of shows. Juniors who participate in these sanctioned shows earn points for their placing at each show. The OCA BEST program promotes educating Ohio’s juniors about the beef industry’s issues and rewards the successful accomplishments and hard work of those junior beef producers. The 2010-2011 BEST program featured 16 sanctioned shows and weaved its way across the state, from as far west as Greene County to as far east as Tuscarawas County. Over 415 head of cattle and more than 310 youth were entered in the program. Hannahs showed the Reserve Champion Crossbred Heifer, and received his award at a banquet held by OCA on June 4th at the Ohio Expo Center.

Around Ohio University of Findlay Western Pleasure Futurity and Sale Submitted by: Steve Brown, University of Findlay
T
he University of Findlay equestrian program started a new program this school year that places an emphasis on Western Pleasure. History of the Program The equestrian program began 45 years ago, as nothing more than a vision of Dale Wilkinson and it has been the common goal of the University and its instructors to cater to the growing demands of the horse industry throughout the years. As the industry continues to specialize and strengthen in different disciplines, the University of Findlay tries to mimic this specialization by creating more programs to focus in those areas. This year, instructors wanted to give students the opportunity to study the discipline of Western Pleasure in a more focused and challenging manner. This new vision began as a plan in which students would be responsible for selecting a yearling prospect, developing its necessary ground work, breaking it to ride, showing it in a class as a two year old and eventually presenting it to sell. A Western Pleasure Closed Futurity, consisting of horses bought and owned by the University and ridden by students in the senior class, became the newest class to take place during the students’ spring semester final exam horse show.
Sudden, Potential Career,and The Perfect Twist. Once the semester started, seniors participated in a drawing in which they were allowed to choose a prospect to be assigned to them for the entire school year. For the first semester, students taught these horses showmanship, ground manners and participated in a lunge line futurity. Second semester, students started these horses under saddle and trained them for four months. The Clark Bradley Western Pleasure Futurity On April 29, 2011 the first annual Clark Bradley Western Pleasure Futurity was held at the University of Findlay. This closed futurity consisting of the University’s pleasure prospects was named to honor Clark Bradley, long time instructor in the western program, for all of his dedication and devotion to the students, the western equestrian major and the entire horse industry. Students showed their pleasure horses to Randy Wilson, Findlay alumni and judge. It was a very nice class and students did a great job presenting their horses.
The Sale The next day, April 30th, all 15 of the horses presented in the futurity sold at the University of Findlay Spring Horse Sale, with great results. The Starting From Scratch average sale price of the two-year-old Western Pleasure Instructors from the University of Findlay spent prospects was $4371.00, with the highest seller the latter part of the summer of 2010 searching for bringing in $16,100. This horse was a Repeated in Red prospects to use for this program. It was decided that gelding, presented by Amanda Work and purchased by these horses would only be available to the senior Paige Quarterman of Bloomville, Ohio. class so that they could culminate their four years of The University of Findlay looks forward to experience into a final project. continuing this new program that allows students Following a rigorous selection process, 18 colts and to study Western Pleasure and allows the western fillies were chosen for purchase. The University of program to train and sell excellent pleasure prospects. Findlay is very grateful to the farms and private owners As we move forward with this program, we are eager that supported this program by offering these fine to see it grow in quality and interest from the horse horses for sale.

AQHA Novice FAQ
T
he novice program is available to you in youth and amateur competition. To be eligible, you must not have earned 25 novice youth, youth, novice amateur, amateur or open combined lifetime points in that novice class. AQHA rules allow a novice youth or novice amateur competitor to show a horse in a novice class with the owner and his or her immediate family still retaining the ability to show the horse in any class other than the same class as the novice exhibitor. Novice youth and novice amateur exhibitors can also show a leased horse in a novice class. Novice exhibitors must still request a novice permit to show a horse that is owned by a non-family member at any of the top 10 AQHA circuit shows that allow permit competition. OW IT WORKS Points earned in a particular class will not hinder your eligibility as a novice in other events. Your points in the new skill sets do not affect your novice status in another skill set. HO CAN SHOW AS A NOVICE? As a youth or amateur competitor, you can show in any skill set as a novice if you never won a world or reserve world, national or reserve national championship title in any other equine breed organization or in an AQHA-approved event, never won a total of $5,000 in cash and prizes with any equine breed organization, never been an accredited horse show judge, never earned 25 or more performance points in the AQHA open, novice amateur, amateur, novice youth or youth divisions combined. If you have ever been or are currently an accredited horse show judge, you are ineligible to compete as a novice. OW DO I GET STARTED AS A NOVICE EXHIBITOR? If you want to show as a novice in a skill set, you must first have an active AQHA membership. Then, simply complete and attest to the novice criteria on the enrollment form designating you want to participate in AQHA-approved shows as a novice. Once your enrollment is received, AQHA will review your show record to determine your skill set eligibility.

HEN CAN I ENROLL AS A NOVICE? You can enroll into the novice program anytime throughout the year. When you enroll, you will receive a letter and a new membership card from us with your skill set eligibility. You can now compete in those skill sets as a novice at any AQHA-approved show until you earn 25 or more lifetime novice points. When you achieve 25 or more AQHA points in a skill set – Congratulations, you’ve graduated out of novice in that skill set! After completing that skill set, find another one in which you are eligible and try your hand at something else.
