🏆 Wow… What a Week at the Georgia 4-H State Horse Show! 🏆
Please join me in sending a massive congratulations to Reid on an absolutely phenomenal week of showing! The dedication, sweat, and hours of hard work she put into preparing for this week completely paid off, and I could not be prouder of her.
A very special thank you goes out to Mrs. Kim Harwell for allowing Reid to lease her wonderful horse, Rita. Reid took so much extra time out of her schedule to fit in extra lessons, working tirelessly to get in sync and ready to compete with Rita. That hustle and dedication truly showed in the arena! And we cant forget Holly Barnes and Tim Barnes for making it all happen getting Reid to extra practices and making things run smooth and easy. Because of the amount of work to get to the 4h state show the rider and their family have to do 100% of the booklet, registration, and work to even qualify to be able to go to the show.
Reid was literally rushing between rings with wardrobe changes today with both divisions running at the exact same time, but she handled the pressure like a absolute pro.
Check out these incredible results from the week (oh and the loot!):
