Better late than never. Itβs been a little crazy.
What an amazing week at Region 4 2025! Iβm so proud of all our horses and riders for their incredible efforts and results. Huge thank you to all the owners, supporters, and friends who make this possibleβespecially Kelly Conrath, whose help was truly invaluable, and Julie Hedden, who is always a huge support. Also a big shoutout to Julieβs boyfriend, Mike, for all the help setting up. Thank you Julie for sharing! And I personally want to give a huge thank you to my parents, Michelle and Eric Nash, and my husband, Logan Robertson - I truly couldnβt do any of this without you. Your support means everything.
Thank you to Keith for driving, setting up, tearing down, and many other things you do. Youβre all part of the reason this show was such a success.
We had some very special moments this year:
β¨ Libby Paulin returned to Region 4 after many years away and brought her daughters with herβwhat a gift to watch that legacy unfold.
β¨ It was Torah Paulinβs first Regionals, and she handled every moment with so much grace and determination.
β¨ Natalie Brannon also had her first Regionals with her horse, and she did an incredible job learning and improving with every ride.
