On a sub-Riemannian manifold we introduce a semimetric quarter-symmetric connection by defining intrinsic metric connection and two structural endomorphisms preserving the distribution on a sub-Riemannian manifold. We find conditions ensuring the metric property of the introduced connection. We clarify the nature of the structural endomorphisms of semimetric connection consistent with a sub-Riemannian quasi-static structure defined on non-holonomic Kenmotsu manifold and on almost quasi-Sasakian manifold. We find conditions, under which the mentioned manifolds are Einstein manifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric connection.
