Over the past few years, the VQHA has had tremendous growth, fueled by volunteers and
supported by exhibitors.
We have a very strong youth component at our shows. As a sign of growth, for the first time in
many years, Virginia will field a team for the National Youth Activity Team Tournament (NYATT)
at Congress.
Team members and the dates on which they will show are:
October 5
Cole Gouthro and Lindsay Atkins in Ranch
October 20
Emily Barlas in barrels and hunter under saddle
Addison Kimble in showmanship
Caleb Kimble in western pleasure and horsemanship
Justin Kimmel in showmanship
Sabella Stanley in western pleasure
Please wish our youth competitors the best of luck! Please consider providing a sponsorship to
help them with the show expenses.
