The Ohio Amateur Quarter Horse Association is a proud division of the Ohio Quarter Horse Association that concentrates on the interests of adult horse enthusiasts who do not train or show horses professionally. Whether you are a less experienced Novice Amateur, a Veteran Amateur or a Select Amateur, OAQHA welcomes your interest and involvement. We were the first Amateur Association formed within the American Quarter Horse Association and are excited to continue “Leading The Way!
Mission Statement of the Ohio Amateur Quarter Horse Association
Our mission is to promote the American Quarter Horse, to improve and develop the capabilities of the amateur owner, both individually and through group participation, in the breeding, raising and exhibiting of the breed. Throughout the year, we have several events to accomplish these goals, including hosting an annual horse show, participating in several different non profit projects and awarding scholarships to our OAQHA members.
