Released October 19, 2011

Six American Quarter Horse Youth Association members were recently awarded a ranch-bred foal donated by Jim and Joni Hunt’s Open Box Rafter Ranch. The foal giveaway was part of the new AQHA Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Project to help youth learn how to develop young horses the right way and get breeders’ foals in the hands of future buyers.

AQHA took applications that also required a 400-word essay. The Hunts were able to meet some of the winners at the ranch’s annual production sale September 10, when the foals were awarded to their new owners.
