Love this!!
Horse shows can create great friendships that last a lifetime, but it often takes technology to maintain them. Chesney Watkins, who lives in South Carolina, and Makaley Janneh, who lives across the country in Washington, met at a horse show and keep up with each other through text messages and Snapchat. So imagine their joy when they found themselves as the last two exhibitors standing in the lineup in Level 1 hunt seat equitation 13 & under at the 2023 Nutrena AQHA West Level 1 Championships.
Makaley, 13, ended up taking the reserve championship with A Natural Dancer, while Chesney, 14, took gold with The Company You Keep. Chesney went on to claim the 13 & under all around at the Level 1 Championships, which was only the second show he has gone to with “George.” He hopes to keep showing the son of One Hot Krymsun through his 14-18 years.
