Thank you all for an incredible show day! 💚🐴

We want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out, watched, supported, cheered, and stood by our 4-H horse kids today! It was definitely a hot one—but these kids pushed through with grit and grace, wrapping up just in time to dodge that nasty rainstorm! 🌧️☀️

Congratulations to every single exhibitor— you all did AMAZING and should be so proud of yourselves! 🏅👏

Our Grand Champions will be receiving beautiful belt buckles, which were unfortunately delayed—but we’re expecting them hopefully tomorrow. Please check in with us and we’ll keep you posted as soon as they arrive!

We also want to send the biggest thank you to our incredible Horse Committee. The countless hours, planning, sweat (literally), and dedication you’ve poured into this week does not go unnoticed. 🙌

And to everyone who’s donated items, time, or support—THANK YOU!
From the clinic with Grant, the tack sale, the noodle dinner, arena drains, gravel and sand, to the arena drag, new saddle racks and so much more—you are ALL part of this. We couldn’t do it without you. 💪

Finally, a special thank you to our amazing judge, Kay.
She volunteered her time for a clinic, worked one-on-one with our kids, and made sure to give kind, constructive feedback after the show. She truly loves what she does and it shows in every interaction.

Here’s to a successful show and an even stronger horse community. 💚🐎

Hey horse kids! 🐴
I’m sure you’ve all seen that the round pen is up and ready to use! Feel free to get your horse some fresh air and outside time—but please be respectful of others and their horses in the barn.

To keep things fair and safe, we’re setting the following time limits:
•One horse = 25 minutes
•Two horses (that can go out together) = 35 minutes
•Three horses (that can go out together) = 45 minutes

⏱️ Please set timers for your horses so everyone gets a chance!
🚫 If you only have one horse and someone else is using the round pen, do not put your horse in with another.
We know some horses get along, but for safety, we’re keeping them separate.

Thanks for understanding and helping things run smoothly! 🍀🐎

Hey 4-H exhibitors—especially our horse kiddos! 🐴

Be sure to stop by and check out A & R Harness and Tack, set up right beside the horse building! They generously donated over $3,000 worth of tack and supplies to our spring tack sale, and now they’re here all week with everything you could need for your horse—and even a few livestock items too!

They’re also set up with A & I Supply, another amazing supporter of our program this year. 👏

You’ll find beautiful handmade tack, top-notch supplies, and friendly folks who truly care about our horse community. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask—he’d love to make it for you!

Let’s show them some love and appreciation for all they’ve done for us! 💚
