The 2026 4H State Horse Show was one for the books! Not only did our riders shine in the ring, their horse care and support of each other is what really made them winners!
Bo Derek took Harlow Rizzi to her first states and set expectations real high coming home Reserve Champion in the Beginner English Pleasure!
Billie Weiner and her superstar pony, Little Rascal had a stellar weekend! They took home 4th in the low hunter pony fences, 5th in the small/medium pony Hunter under saddle, 7th in the Hunter Hack Ponies, and laid it down for State Champion in the younger low equitation over fences!
Sage Dow and The Widow Clicquot wowed in the Hunter Under Saddle taking 4th, and 8th in the Equitation on the flat!
Vivienne Terry and Make Me A Double infiltrated the Breed Type Hunter Under Saddle with ease, taking 8th place in a large class and had a beautiful ride in the equation on the flat!
Madison Bara has been working her tail off with Castle and Key and the results showed this weekend! They had a super confident round in the low working hunter horses, 5th in the hunter under saddle, and took home Reserve Champion out of a huge group in the Hunter Hack Horses!
Erin O’Brien and Match Up had a beautiful round in the Hunter Under Saddle and laid down a stunning trip in the biggest class of the show, the newly added crossrails, bringing home Reserve Champion!
