We wrapped up youth week at the 2025 APHA World Championship Show, and could not be more proud of this team!

🔸Finalist Youth 18&U Horsemanship
🔸Finalisy Youth 18&U Showmanship

I need to take a moment to brag on this kid - we’ve all had those shows, where you’ve set goals, worked your butt off to show up prepared, and almost nothing seems to go your way. It’s horse showing. Melanie continued to show up each and every ride - cheering on her fellow competitors with a great attitude, and appreciation for her horse and the opportunity to ride on this stage. Her sportsmanship, work ethic, and positivity this past week outshine any ribbon, trophy, or buckle and we are so proud to have her in our barn!

A few notable big wins for Melanie this week…

🎖️FIRST win on an individual card in a riding class at a world show
🎖️FIRST score above 90
🎖️FIRST +3 maneuver score

Our show is far from over, Open & Amateur week starts tomorrow!
