All American Quarter Horse Congress

𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 The equine community is known for its ability to rise to challenges, and this year's Congress was no exception. The Expo 2050 project spurred some changes that were welcome additions to the event; new traffic patterns, streamlined camping with the Purple Lot, the opening of the 11th Avenue exit, stalling in the Annex, the new Congress Marketplace and more. We look forward to carrying this positive momentum into 2025 and beyond. Thank you to all of our exhibitors, spectators, vendors, staff, and everyone who made 2024 a year to remember. We hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did! 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞: September 27 - October 26, 2025

𝐍𝐘𝐀𝐓𝐓 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 The NYATT competition is the largest of its kind and always a fun time at the Congress. This year, we had 45 teams from across North America and over 300 youth compete in the 8 classes the NYATT offers. Taking home the win in Division I was the Lonestar team from Texas Quarter Horse Youth Association, while the team from SCQHA South Carolina Quarter Horse Association came out on top in Division II! Thank you to our longtime sponsor, the NSBA - National Snaffle Bit Association Smart Points program. NSBA rewards youth members for their participation in NSBA programs and encourages them to become lifelong learners through the Smart Points program. Also through the NSBA Foundation's Envelope Challenge, $60,000 was raised for the Susan Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund!
