The Congress is known as the world’s largest single-breed horse show, boasting more than 24,500 entries annually and housing nearly 6,000 registered American Quarter Horses during its three-week duration in Columbus, Ohio in the month of October. In 2012, Montana Silversmiths and the Ohio Quarter Horse Association signed a Corporate Partnership which recognizes Montana Silversmiths as a major sponsor of the National Youth Activities Team Tournament, which is the largest National Youth Team Tournament competition in the world. Montana Silversmiths sponsors over 400 Gold and Silver award buckles during the Quarter Horse Congress.
