The American Quarter Horse Association has renewed support for the 2023 American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup. Since its inception in 1978, YWC has been an educational, leadership-based event where youth from every country have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in their respective disciplines over the course of the week-long competition.
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, and enjoy fellowship with other AQHYA members. Throughout the competition, each country will ride for gold medals in cutting, reining, horsemanship, ranch riding, trail, western riding, hunt seat equitation, hunter under saddle and showmanship.
