The equine students had a great showing this year at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo ! We had several students get qualified for the American Quarter Horse Association world show in the breakaway roping and the barrel racing. We also had a couple get qualified for the AQHA youth world show as well! Thank you Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo for putting on a great show and giving our students an opportunity to compete!

We had a great trip to the historic 6666 Ranch today! They gave us an in-depth tour of the breeding facility and what the day to day life is like. Thank you to everyone there for your hospitality and taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
