The All American Quarter Horse Congress, scheduled for September 29 – October 25 in Ohio, has been cancelled.
“The uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic simply prevents safely moving forward in Columbus, Ohio,” said a statement from the show.
“The well-being of our workers, exhibitors and attendees is our highest priority and based on the information we have today, the risk is simply too great. Thank you for understanding this difficult decision.”
Scott Myers, CEO of the Ohio Quarter Horse Association said, “Hearing all the concerns from the local and state health departments, and the CDC, it was the right decision to make to keep people safe and healthy.
“It is disappointing to all who worked tirelessly in preparation for this year’s Congress, and I want to personally thank you for your continued support. I look forward to the biggest and best Congress ever in 2021.”
He added, “We are in this together, our industry is strong and rest assured, the Congress will be here in 2021. Details on moving forward and further updates will be available on quarterhorsecongress.com.
