Congratula- tions to all the exhibitors, and thank you to all spon- sors, volunteers, and show staff for making it a success. The Ontario Con-
gress Youth Team competed at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in October.
They competed in the NYATT. The All American Quarter Horse Congress hosts the largest National Youth Team Tournament competition in the world. The National Youth Activity Team Tournament (NYATT) was held on Sunday, Octo- ber 15th, 2023. Youth from state and regional Quarter Horse associations across the U.S. and Canada come together to compete at the Congress. The team con- sisted of the following members and their horses: Willow Cambell and Clues Rooster, Abigail Dunlevy and Surely a Good Cowboy,

OQHA Youth Advisor, Darcy Woods, did a fantastic job organizing the team for the NYATT.

Monica Collins and Willy Makesya Wonde were finalists in the NYATT Hunter Under Sad- dle, Gillian Merkley and RW Get It On placed 10th in the NYATT Horsemanship, and Willow Cambell and Clues Rooster placed 7th in the NYATT Barrels.
