Youth World State Standings (updated 6/12/19)
Please Note – this is a preliminary report. Standings are subject to changes as updates and corrections are made.
The above State Qualifiers list is a preliminary report and we need you to verify your participation at the National/State level by Friday, June 14th. Please read below and email [email protected] with updates on your status as National Qualifier.
State Affiliates are allowed to send 4 competitors for each class offered and can take up to 6 if total entries allow. To that end, we can make room for more state qualifiers by removing National Qualifiers and those State Qualifiers who are not planning on showing at the Youth World Show from the list. For instance, the Ranch Riding class is filled but if we have National Qualifiers on the list, removing them (since they are showing as a National Qualifier) would open spots for state entries who are currently listed as alternates.
Please contact the office by Friday at [email protected] or 405-440-0694 to let us know:
- If you are a National Qualifier in any class listed
- If you are on the State Qualifiers list and will NOT be showing in that class at the Youth World Show
- If you believe your name is missing from the list
The Youth World meeting and lottery for open spots will take place on Tuesday, June 18th at 6:30pm at the OQHA Office. Everyone intending to show at the Youth World Show needs to attend so we can complete entry forms and payment for all classes. If you are considering showing but haven’t made your final decision, potentially need to have a “back up” entry or think you may want to show in an additional class or with an additional horse not currently qualified, you must fill out the Alternate form for each scenario and turn it in at the meeting.
How the Lottery Works:
A list of open spots for each class is provided and interested competitors fill in those spots. For instance, in the Hunter Hack we have one state qualified entry so we will have 5 spots plus alternates available. If we have 5 or fewer people all will be allowed to enter that class. If more than 5 people are interested then the “lottery” will determine which people receive the available spots and which are alternates.
If you have questions about the State Qualifiers list or Affiliate participation at the Youth World Show please contact the OQHA Office (405-440-0694), Rebecca Halvorson (405-850-7981) or Jerilyn Wright (806-435-8451).
