It is with great Buckeye pride, that Scott Myers
has been appointed by the Ohio Quarter Horse board of directors to the
role of Executive Director, and leader of the OQHA signature event, The
All American Quarter Horse Congress. As a longtime serious amateur
exhibitor, OQHA Director, past President and Tri Chairman, Scott brings
many attributes to the table, but most especially the voice of the
people he has worked with for years.
When I first decided to enter the path of national service with AQHYA, the first person I consulted was Dr. Scott Myers. It isn’t coincidence that when my beloved first dog developed a terminal illness, the first person I consulted was Scott who is a highly compassionate veterinarian and just so happened to graduate from my favorite school–The Ohio State University. When I celebrated my year-end high point awards on Hopeful Assets, it was Dr. Myers who offered to throw the party, cook the steaks, and sent me beautiful roses (my first!). I would have to say unequivocally that he has been one of the biggest mentors and confidants in my horse career. The bottom line is that he is a great listener, and a man who is always there for his friends and family.
