TULSA, Okla. – Goshen County 4-H members, Kylie Carson, Cora Frederick, Kendall Haas and Calli Klein, were named National Champions at the 47th Annual Arabian Horse Youth Judging contest held during the US National Arabian & Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show recently in Tulsa. This award-winning team is coached by 4-H volunteer, Mercedes Powers-Glenn.
The team earned the chance to compete by winning the Wyoming 4-H Horse Judging Contest in June. In preparation for this national contest the team traveled to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in September, where they visited Arabian breeders and trainers in addition to an exclusive clinic organized just for them by members and coaches of the Cal Poly Horse Judging team.
The national contest included the performance classes Reining, Ranch Riding, Country English Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure and Hunter Seat Equitation. Kids also judged halter classes of
Half-Arabian Stock Hunter Geldings, Half-Arabian Stock Hunter Mare, Purebred Mares and Purebred Geldings. In these classes four horses were evaluated, compared and placed objectively. The placings are then scored against an ideal placing determined by a panel of three carded judges.
