The Canadian Quarter Horse Association (CQHA) is proud to congratulate Ady Kallay of Drayton Valley, Alberta, on being named the 2025 American Quarter Horse Youth Association (AQHYA) 14–18 All-Around Champion — the highest overall youth title awarded at the AQHYA World Championship Show, held August 1–10 in Oklahoma City.

Riding The Batchelor (“Scout”), a 2017 sorrel gelding by How Bout This Cowboy and out of Shes Blazing Cool by Blazing Hot, Ady earned a staggering 100 points toward the All-Around — becoming the first exhibitor in AQHYA history to earn all All-Around points through top-three finishes in every Level 3 class entered.

Her final class of the show, a win in L3 Western Horsemanship (14–18), sealed her gold-medal streak and confirmed a week of domination in the biggest American Quarter Horse Association youth competition of the year.

Ady and Scout earned a total of $21,500 from the Kimes Ranch Competition Award Fund, $3,350.50 in jackpot earnings, and took home an All-Around prize package valued at over $2,500 including a custom-logoed leather jacket and commemorative awards.

Signed to ride for Texas A&M University home to one of the most prestigious NCAA Division I equestrian programs in the United States, this fall – Ady’s world show performance not only secured her place in AQHYA history, but also positioned her as one of Canada’s most accomplished young equestrians on the international stage.

“Ady’s historic performance at the AQHYA World Show is a shining example of what Canadian youth can accomplish on the world stage. Her ability to remain composed and competitive across such a wide variety of disciplines is a testament not only to her talent, but to her heart. We are immensely proud of Ady and wish her continued success both in and out of the show arena.” – Laurie Haughton CQHA 1st Vice President

A Remarkable Partnership in Just 8 Months

Ady purchased The Batchelor in January 2025 and quickly formed a connection that led to an unforgettable season. With composure, polish, and remarkable versatility, the pair made their presence known in every arena — from rail work to intricate patterns — with consistency, class, and quiet confidence.

The Batchelor was bred by Starland Ranch LLC of El Reno, Oklahoma. While not Canadian-bred, his career is now deeply rooted in Canadian pride.

Ady’s accomplishments are a powerful reflection of the excellence, work ethic, and world-class talent found across Canada’s youth. Her story is one of determination, connection, and quiet leadership — and a reminder that Canadian riders belong at the highest levels of global competition.
