Powering a Year of Unforgettable Success

The breeders behind the champions of the 2025 All American Quarter Horse Congress are visionaries, planners, & tireless advocates for excellence. Their dedication begins long before a horse ever steps into the arena—carefully selecting bloodlines, nurturing young talent, & committing years of time, resources, & expertise to ensure each horse reaches its fullest potential. These programs combine science, experience, & passion, shaping not only the horses themselves but the future of the sport. From halter & performance champions to Western All-Around & speed events, the breeders’ influence is felt in every stride, every turn, & every moment of brilliance in the arena. Their hard work is matched only by the countless others who contribute to the success of the Congress.

Hats off to everyone involved—indeed, the All American Quarter Horse Congress cannot be achieved without the dedication, passion, & effort of each & every contributor. From the horses whose talent & heart captivate us, to the trainers, riders, & handlers who bring out their very best, to the breeders whose careful planning & strategic bloodlines shape the future of the sport—every role is vital. Owners, support staff, & event organizers all work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the Congress runs seamlessly & remains a showcase of excellence. Together, these programs, people, & partnerships create the unforgettable performances, remarkable achievements, & inspiring stories that make the AAQHC a true celebration of the Quarter Horse industry. Each entry, each champion, & each moment reflects the shared dedication & love for this extraordinary sport.

Founder, StallionCompare.com | Creative Director

Natashya, the founder of StallionCompare.com, is a dynamic force in both the equine and creative industries. As a lifelong equestrian, Natashya’s journey with horses began with Quarter Horses in her hometown in British Columbia, Canada. During her college years she took a brief (and eye opening) hiatus from Quarter Horses to work in the Thoroughbred industry – returning to the AQHA circuit as a young adult. Natashya was also able to reconnect with the quarter horse industry through design. She worked with former owners of Pleasurehorse.com and Show Horse Today on their design needs prior to Robyn Duplisea purchasing the business. Natashya also worked at Horse Canada (HPG) as the Creative Director for many monthly, quarterly, and annual equine magazines. Her passion (read: obsession) for breeding, genetics, and equine pedigrees ran ever-increasingly deep, which lead her to create StallionCompare.com.

Beyond her equine pursuits, Natashya is the Creative Director & Co-Founder of a leading design agency known for its boutique, customer-focused approach. With her expertise, she blends creativity and technology to make a lasting impact in both horse breeding and design.
