Always happy to donate the arena for this show. We’ve done it every year since I opened, and the quality of competition just keeps getting better.

🐴🏆 Polk County 4-H & FFA Horse Department Buckle Show Success! 🏆🐴

On Sunday, June 7, horse exhibitors from across the area gathered for the annual Polk County 4-H & FFA Horse Department Buckle Show Fundraiser. The day was filled with learning, friendly competition, and plenty of opportunities to grow as horsemen and horsewomen.

Exhibitors participated in both ground and riding classes, while receiving valuable feedback and encouragement from our judge, Mary Pohlmann. Events like these help youth build confidence, improve their horsemanship skills, and prepare for the upcoming fair season.

Congratulations to all of our buckle, reserve high point, and award winners! More importantly, thank you to every exhibitor, family member, volunteer, and supporter who helped make the day a success.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors:
⭐ Mike Grandgeorge - American National Insurance
⭐ Sondra Feldstein – Prairie Rose Arena
⭐ Iowa Horse Council - Iowa Horse Council
⭐ Freedom Riders 4-H Club
⭐ The Rustic Roan

Your support helps provide meaningful educational opportunities and keeps our horse program growing stronger each year.

We are proud of these young exhibitors and can’t wait to see them continue their journey at the 2026 Polk County Fair!

📸 Check out some of the smiles, buckles, and accomplishments from the day below!
