World Show Team
The AQHA Youth World Championship Show is the world’s largest single-breed horse show just for youth.
In order to participate, AQHYA members must qualify to show. There are currently three ways to qualify to represent Ohio at the AQHYA World Show:
Qualify Nationally
The national qualifying period is from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012. AQHA determines the number of points youth need to accumulate in each class to qualify; a list of qualifying points can be found at www.aqha.com. Youth that wish to qualify nationally and receive the stipend from OQHA must attend at least two OQHYA meetings between January 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012.
Qualify In-State
To qualify in-state, youth must be members of OQHYA, reside in Ohio and attend at least two OQHYA meetings between January 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012. Youth must also place at a minimum of three shows, accumulating at least 10 points during the qualifying period. A youth’s 10 best shows during the qualifying period will count. The in-state qualifying period begins on the Saturday of the SOQHA Winter Circuit in March and runs through May 31, 2012.
Qualify by Declaration
Youth that wish to qualify for a cattle event, working hunter, equitation over fences, jumping and/or other classes not usually offered at regular shows can declare their interest in competing at the AQHYA World Championship Show by sending a letter of declaration to the OQHA office. Letters of declaration must be sent on or before March 1, 2012 and should be mailed certified with return receipt to:
