Sweet Home OHSET

05/11/2026

Sweet Home’s athletes had a great time at the State Meet!
The competition didn’t always go like we wanted, and we had some rough runs, but we still had a really fun time and the athletes showed a wonderful level of horsemanship and sportsmanship.
Drill Team ended up 9th place and looked awesome!
Canadian flag team ran the fast time of the weekend but ended up DQ’d with 2 on the line (by a horses chin hair). Their run was still phenomenal.
Kids and coaches had a great time dancing and hanging out at Cowboy Prom! 💃
Our season is officially over and we are so grateful for everyone that has supported us along the way.
Thank you Scio OHSET for being an awesome combo team and good luck at PNWIC!! 🎉 🏆
