That’s a wrap for the 2025 Tennessee State 4-H Championship Show in Shelbyville at the Cooper Steel Arena!
Thank you to all of our clients, judges, Extension agents, and show staff!
We juggled 10 kiddos, through 4 simultaneously run arenas, for 3 days...
The 💜 BEST MOMENTS 💜 for me were everyone placing in their Dressage out of 30ish horses, going 1-2-3 in Junior High Western Showmanship, all 4 of my kiddos making it into the Walk-Trot Western Pleasure finals and then ending up winning 1-2-3-4 👏, and ALL OF MY KIDDOS MAKING IT BACK INTO THE HUNTER SHOWMANSHIP FINALS and placing top 10!!!

As for placings, I have no idea.🤦🏼♀️
I was juggling 10 kids and 4 arenas. Half her ribbons got labeled, 1 got stolen, and half the time I didn't even know where my kid was...
