The OQHA and Congress team would like to extend our condolences to the Devitt family during this difficult time!

The Ohio Quarter Horse Association and the Congress are incredibly sad to share the passing of longtime member of the show management team and beloved part of the Congress Family, Casey Devitt. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, April, and their family, as well as everyone who loved Casey, during this difficult time. We will share more information as it becomes available.
