Fun in the Sun at the OQHA Picnic

OQHA members enjoyed some fun in the sun at this year's annual picnic, generously hosted by J.L. and Penny Robinson of Bellefontaine.

Held Monday, June 23, the picnic was once again a favorite event for members and their families, with over 100 guests in attendance. Sharing good food from Boo's Kitchen of Delaware, the event provided an opportunity for youth, amateur, and open OQHA members to meet and spend time together.

After dinner, the Ohio Quarter Horse Youth Association met and discussed their plans for the rest of the summer, including their upcoming trips to the YES Conference in Amarillo, Texas, and the AQHYA World Show in Oklahoma City, Okla. 

The open OQHA board also met, where director Cynthia Bauman presented the board and President Kelli Diaz with a check for $2,000 on behalf of OQHA affiliate, Creek Side Horse Park. This generous donation is representative of another successful OQHA All Breed Trail Ride and Mt Trail Challenge event.

Looking ahead, the next OQHA and OQHYA board meetings are scheduled for August 25, 2025 at the OQHA office in Columbus.

OQHA points are now updated through June 30. Those can be viewed here.

Good luck to all OQHA members on the rest of their show season!
