It may have been a chilly day by Ohio summer standards, but that didn’t stop OQHA members from gathering for the association’s annual picnic, generously hosted once again by J.L. and Penny Robinson of Bellefontaine!   A longtime favorite tradition, the OQHA picnic welcomed nearly 100 members, families, and friends for an evening filled with great food, fellowship, and fun. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal from Boo’s Kitchen of Delaware, making for the perfect setting to catch up and celebrate another busy season. Following dinner, members of the Ohio Quarter Horse Youth Association met to discuss plans for the remainder of the summer, including their upcoming trip to Oklahoma City for the AQHYA World Show.
