Editor’s Letter

I

By Katie Dobrowolski

’ve been at Ohio Quarter Horse Association for six months, and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone! From weekend horse shows, to trail rides, to parades, and the All American Quarter Horse Congress, we truly do it all at OQHA. I am constantly amazed by the enthusiasm displayed at all of the events, everybody is so dedicated to promoting the breed.

My favorite event this summer was the OQHA/Tri-Co. trail ride August 16-18.

I could not have imagined a better weekend and a more inviting group of riders. Our directors worked so hard, and their efforts showed in the outcome-- this trail ride was the largest yet!

This autumn brought another favorite event -- the All American Quarter Horse Congress! I have been to the Congress many times as spectator and shopper, but I have never been able to see the behind the scenes. Thank you to everybody who helped make this Congress a spectacular event, I can’t believe I got to be a part of it all.

Finally, I want to encourage all of the members to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections. Don’t forget to review the nomination slates for 2014 officer and director positions, as well as all the biographies in this issue of Ohio Quarter Horse News.

See you all in 2014!

s 2013 winds down, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve accomplished this year!

Our youth members had some huge wins at the AQHYA World Show, and brought home many championships back to Ohio. Our Amateur association had great success with the The Little Buckeye and Buckeye Classic and made them the largest one to date! Many Ohio riders traveled to Amateur Select World Show and the AQHA World Show and found success against some of the best riders in their age group. I would like to congratulate all of the competitors.

We just finished at the 47th Annual All American Quarter Horse Congress in October. We had a a successful return of the Bull Riding to the Congress with a sell-out crowd for the outstanding PBR event. The Freestyle Reining was again a tremendous success and we thank Stacey Westfall for the opening and Shawn and Sam Flarida for their standing ovation performance to the revised country song by Rodney Adkins, Watching You, performed by Denny Strickland. Our members had a great show with many Champions, Reserve Champions, Top 15 placings

By Chris Cecil Darnell and finalists coming from Ohio. I would like to thank the OQHA board members and the Congress Tri-Chairmen for their hard work to make this show happen.

Additionally, I would like to thank the OQHA staff, workers, volunteers, as well as all of our sponsors, vendors, and exhibitors for making it a huge success. This event is special for so many people, I am so proud to be a part of it.

So, let’s celebrate all of our victories at the Year-End Awards Banquet on February 1st at the Hilton Downtown.

Clark Bradley receives Living the Mission Award from the Southern Belle Breeders Submitted by Jordan Ferguson very year The Southern Belle Invitation presents an individual with the prestigious Living the Mission Award. The award recognizes one outstanding professional equine trainer who demonstrates character, integrity, and stewardship in their life and business practices. This person is an ambassador to the community and reflects the equine industry in a positive light.

The Living the Mission Award is given to an individual who does the right thing even when no one is looking; he or she serves the equine industry and their own communities outside the equine world with a servant’s heart and look to improve the community around them for their fellow man. Most importantly, this individual places the welfare of the horse above the consideration for winning.

On Saturday, October 26th at the Equine Chronicle Congress Masters event, the 2013 Living the Mission Award was presented to Clark Bradley. The entire audience rose to their feet, applauded and cheered in agreement with The Southern Belle Breeders choice, as he

received the esteemed award. An award truly earned for his commitment to improving the equine industry and mentoring other equestrians in their pursuit of excellence.

The Ohio Quarter Horse Association is proud to call Clark Bradley one of our own. For the past 40 years, Clark Bradley has been on the Board of Directors for the Ohio Quarter Horse Association, even serving as President.

For Bradley, involvement in the horse industry is a family tradition. Both Clark and his father, Bailey “Stretch” Bradley, are All American Quarter Horse Congress Hall of Fame inductees. While modest, Bradley’s accomplishments are many, including 2001 AQHA Professional Horseman of the Year, two time NRHA Futurity Champion, numerous All American Quarter Horse Congress wins in Western Pleasure, Reining , Roping and Cutting, and NRHA Hall of Fame inductee.

Currently, Clark Bradley is an instructor at the University of Findlay and is an assistant coach of the university’s Western Equestrian Team. He has touched many young equestrians’ lives in his 25 years at the University of Findlay. One student warmly wrote, “Clark

Macs Good N Plenty was Hip No. 5, so the crowd did not wait long to see the AQHA Leading Sire. He was brought out into the arena as his accolades were announced. The bidding commenced, and the price soared. The top bidder won with a bid of $29,000. Steven Schultz, from Horace, North Dakota is the proud new owner. His new stallion is now standing at Iowa State University at the Llyod Veterinary Medical Center.

Macs Good N Plenty was the talk of the Super Sale, but another horse took the title of “highest selling.” Hip No. 101 Rockett Man is a 2012 bay stallion, by the popular young sire Batt Man. One week earlier, on October 14, Rockett Man placed 9th in NSBA Open Western Yearling

Longe Line Stakes. He was shown by John Wainscott in the class of 30 entries.

He was offered for sale by owners Kimberley and Randy Haines, of Lima, Ohio and was presented by John Wainscott. Rockett Man went for $33,000 and is now owned by Lindsay Hall of Weston, Connecticut.

“The 2013 Congress Super Sale, presented by Kaplow Insurance, proved to be strong and consistent in today’s horse market” according to Mike Jennings. Mike and Stephanie Jennings of Round Hill, VA, own Professional Horse Services, LLC and managed the auction for the Ohio Quarter Horses Association.

The gross sales were $846,000 with an average price of $5,716.22. The average price rose 5.6% from last year.

The median price of $4,500 was up by 12% from $4,000 last year. With 15 fewer horses offered in the auction, the gross sales were off only 4.4% from the 2012 auction. The percentage of horses actually sold remained steady at 82%.

Congress Hosts Two Sold Out Events

O

n Friday October 11, the All American Quarter Horse Congress started the weekend off with the return of the Coughlin sponsored PBR Touring Pro Series to the fairgrounds. Every seat in the Taft Coliseum was sold. The demand for entry was immense; fans bought standing room only tickets just to get in the door.

The bulls gave the cowboys a run for their money; only the best for 8 seconds. By the night’s end, Tommy Erxleben won first place, scoring 89 points, receiving $4,137.12.

Tied for 2nd were Brandon Davis and Carrson Hiatt, both scored 87 points and won $2,479.62.

On Saturday, October 12, horse enthusiasts from all over the country flocked to the Congress to watch the Freestyle Reining, presented by Weaver Leather. In Freestyle Reining, exhibitors have a few key reining maneuvers to include in their ride, but song choice and costumes are determined by the exhibitor. The combination of two judges and the audience’s cheers decide the score for each ride.

The sold out event featured 23 entries, an intermission performance by Shawn and Sam Flarida, and an appearance by renowned horsewoman, Stacy Westfall. The spectators saw everything from Michael Jackson to Ninja themed performances.

During the intermission, Shawn Flarida and son Sam 12 • Ohio Quarter Horse News

took to the arena. They were joined by recording artist, Denny Strickland, who sang a version of Rodney Atkins’ I’ve Been Watching You. The two rode to the lyrics, Sam shadowing his father’s every move. The performance brought the audience to their feet and applause filled the arena.

For Non-Pro Champion Caroline Gute and mount Travel Whiz Me, owned by Julie Gute, this was not their first Freestyle victory; they were 2012 Non-Pro Champions, too. The pair was poised and graceful as they rode to “Colors of the Wind” in their Pocahaontas themed performance.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Open Freestyle Reining Champions, Rocky Dare and Squeaky Clean Genes, owned by Susan Kuryloski, lit up the area with their playful performance. Joined by three children and his wife, they started out slow with “When You Wish Upon a Star” playing as they simulated bedtime. Then the popular hit “Gangnam Style” cut in as the children sprung out of bed and began to dance. The audience laughed and cheered at the comical display as Rocky slid and spun to victory before their eyes.

However, this most recent term in which I served as Vice President, I focused on closing the gap between the state and national level and getting Ohio more involved with AQHA. In June I travelled to Amarillo, Texas to the annual Youth Excellence Seminar to represent Ohio. I ran for a national title and was elected to Director. By attending YES, I was able to not only expose Ohio at the national level, but bring home ideas back to my own state in hopes of building a stronger, more unified association,” said Lauren.

Lauren feels that the top three priorities for OQHYA should be mentoring the younger generation. “By getting youth involved at a young age we can have a better chance of developing strong, capable boards and representatives,” she said.

The Buckeye Classic - Bigger and Better Than Ever

T

his past July was all about the buckeye in Ohio, the Little Buckeye and Buckeye Classic that is. These two groundbreaking shows took the Quarter Horse circuit by storm by offering, for the first time in history, the chance to show without paying any AQHA entry fees.

At the Little Buckeye, the first weekend of the nine-day run, the Ohio Quarter Horse Amateurs focused on the next generation of young horseman by offering free youth and novice youth entries. If that wasn’t exciting enough, many of the youth exhibitors left the Little Buckeye without even paying a bill, thanks to the generosity of several Ohio trainers lending their support to OAQHA’s “Tabbed Out By Trainers” program. This new, innovative program awarded $150 credits randomly to every Novice Youth and Novice Amateur class at the show. For several of the exhibitors, this was their first time competing at an AQHA event and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

At the second show, the Buckeye Classic, the Ohio Amateurs teamed up with the fine folks of the Buckeye Western Horse Association and continued their efforts to bring the grassroots people back and grow an industry that we all love, by giving the hard working amateurs

a chance to show for free. There were several 9-point classes featuring multiple judges, allowing the exhibitors to earn many points, especially in the all-around classes.

To sweeten the pot even more, 6 saddles, custom circuit champion sheets, team tournament gift cards and thousands of dollars in random prizes were awarded as well. The show also had a team tournament, where each team consisted of three members. The Champion team of Erica Miller with Pines Royalty, Sara Mayers with The Holiday, and Marley Mainwaring with RL Impulse each won a $500 gift card to Rod’s Western Palace.

“Both shows exceeded all of OAQHA and BWHA’s expectations with over 3,000 entries the first weekend at the Little Buckeye to approximately 7,500 entries at the Buckeye Classic, giving it a chance to make AQHA's Top Ten List for shows across the entire country,” said OAQHA 1st Vice President Justin Billings. Pair that with 1,000 stalls sold, and these shows are quickly turning into Ohio's premiere AQHA Circuit.

Not only were the Ohio Amateurs and BWHA able to make this show a successful one for many exhibitors, but they also wanted to give back to the community. A portion of the office fees went to a charity of each judge’s choice.

Ohio Quarter Horse News • 37

Amateur Update Additionally, the Buckeye Classic and OAQHA were able to donate to Flying Horse Farms. A check for $1,000 was made out after the show from the proceeds of the horse show. Flying Horse Farms provides magical, transforming experiences for children with serious illnesses. The Amateurs donate and volunteer at the farm on a regular basis.

The OAQHA and BWHA volunteers are quick to acknowledge the corporate support they received, especially from their day sponsors who made the possibility of “Free AQHA Entries” a reality. These generous people were a critical factor in the success of both shows and include The Martz Family, Olivia Hoecker and Pine Meadow Quarter Horses, Tom Coughlin and Coughlin

Automotive, Rebecca Bailey and One Hot Krymsun and Fritz and Carole Leeman of Leeman Farm.
