26/ AUGUST 2018 THE RIDER 2018 AQH Youth World Cup Results The AQH Youth World Cup


was hosted in Bryant/College Sta- tion, Texas between June 28 and July 8, 2018. Nineteen countries, in- cluding Canada, supported youth teams to compete in cutting, reining, western horsemanship, trail, ranch riding, hunt seat equitation, hunter under saddle and showmanship, and the final results are now in the record books. The Youth World Cup is more


than just a competition - it offers a chance for international American Quarter Horse enthusiasts to learn from the industry’s leading riders and trainers. Visit the CQHA web- site for more historical background on this prestigious international event. A major initiative of the CQHA


is to field youth teams for these Youth World Cup competitions held in different countries every second year (even numbered years). Ten well qualified youth participants were selected from applications re- ceived from across Canada for Team Canada 2018. Competition horses are supplied by the host country and teams draw for mounts from the


competing were: Team Australia with 96 points in fourth position and Team Italy with 84 points in fifth position; Teams Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Norway, Austria, France, Luxem- bourg, South Africa, Isreal, Switzer- land, Japan,


Paraguay and


Beligium. Representing Canada at interna-


tional events such as this one, is a costly initiative and Team Canada members and their families are each responsible for fund-raising a por- tion of their travel expenses. Team Canada appreciates the many gener- ous sponsors who stepped up to the plate. For more information about Team Canada 2018 and/or the AQH Youth World Cup itself, visit the CQHA’s website. The CQHA Board of Directors


congratulates the entire 2018 youth team, coach and manager, their sponsors, and support groups both on-site and back at home, for their cumulative contributions to these outstanding results. Team Canada members were all
