The American Quarter Horse Association, Oklahoma City – Megan Overberg of Hillsboro, Ohio, captured the world championship title and Intermediate first place in western horsemanship at the 2013 Built Ford Tough American Quarter Horse Youth Association World Championship Show on August 6 in Oklahoma City.
Overberg showed her American Quarter Horse Invitation To Show. The 1996 brown gelding, sired by Invitation Only and out of Miss Double Show, was bred by Charles Morris of Omaha, Nebraska.
In the western horsemanship, 175 entries competed for world champion honors. World champions received a prize package that included a custom-designed gold trophy, Montana Silversmiths buckle, specially designed logoed jacket, courtesy of Cripple Creek Outerwear, a WeatherBeeta embroidered blanket, world champion patch, neck wreath and gold medallion.
The Intermediate awards program is designed to recognize exhibitors who have never placed in the top 10 at an AQHA world show in the particular class in which they are competing. Intermediate classes run as classes within classes, not separate ones.
The Ford Youth World is the pinnacle event for American Quarter Horse exhibitors ages 18 and under around the world, who must qualify for the event by earning a predetermined number of points to compete in each of the classes representing halter, English and western disciplines. More than 2,300 entries from the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Venezuela are competing for 35 world championships at this year’s event, August 2-10 in Oklahoma City.
