After 3 years of having Youth and Amateur classes only, OMIQHA was able to obtain a full complete showbill for our first show of the year. We had an awesome first show of the year despite lower that normal stall sales, but those that came really came to show with just about a thousand entries for the weekend. We had alot of new individuals showing at this show, we had a couple groups come down from New York state and several from Michigan, a few from Indiana, Pennsylvania, and from all corners of Ohio.  I want to thank all those that make our show what it is, we had a great arena crew, announcer, and show office crew. With our first show at a new facility and date for us, this gave us a few growing pains, but we overcame them and moved

A great show ended with kids winning MONEY! Total entries were up more than 130 PER judge over last year. Finishing with nearly 2600 AQHA entries and very strong NSBA.
