The object of SOQHA is to promote in all ways the interests of Southern Ohio Quarter Horse owners, to increase the number of Southern Ohio breeders and owners of quarter horses registered by the American Quarter Horse Association and to help advance Ohio to the position of the leading quarter horse state.
