MQHYA Member Spotlight: Hunter Skouby

Although horse show season is wrapping up, there is no reason not to continue celebrating our phenomenal youth competitors! This month’s MQHYA spotlight is shining on Hunter Skouby, an accomplished horseman and the Missouri Quarter Horse Youth Association’s Vice President!

Hunter shows in the reining and the ranch riding on his mare, “Spark In My Heart”. However, the reining is his favorite event because of the adrenaline rush involved.

When asked what makes MQHYA special to him, Hunter mentioned that it is the association that allowed him to begin his career as a competitive equestrian. As an asset to our leadership team and a role model for our younger members, Hunter encourages beginning youth to “never give up”, and to continue pursuing their goals (even when it is difficult to do so).

Some fun facts about Hunter are that his favorite color is red, his favorite sport is baseball, and his favorite food is pizza!

Congratulations, Hunter, on a successful show season!
