This post is very late! Life is busy.. but I cannot miss the opportunity to celebrate our team!
Roberson Equine had a fabulous 2024 APHA World Show!
We kicked off the show with all of the RE girls competing in the youth Team Tournament. They had never done anything like this before, and did a fantastic job!
Our star Audrey Warminski & Hotrod Machine reached many goals at this world show!
Multiple top 5s and top 10s in the 13&under Trail, Horsemanship, Showmanship! ⭐️
But their biggest win… Reserve WORLD CHAMPIONS in the Novice Youth 13 and under hunt seat Equitation!🏆
We are SO proud of you Audrey!!
Calvin also was apart of the Youth world games showmanship. Every 2 years, youth are hand selected from all over the world to come compete at the world show in Fort Worth. They have 4 team members that show in individual classes to represent their country. Calvin was exhibited by young lady from Canada! We are so proud of her. She finished seventh overall in a very tough class with only a 20min practice the day before. And might I add, their class showed very late after a long day of showmanship. This was an incredible opportunity to watch Calvin share his talents with someone❤️
Let’s not forget Ava Pettigrew & HH Talegater also had a fabulous world show debut!
They were 10th over all Youth Ranch pleasure 18&under as well as 10th in the Youth Ranch Reining. These were also some very tough classes with 25+ horses and riders up to 18 years old! Many goals were reached at this show, and I am incredibly proud of this team.
Both girls also came home with scholarship money and lots of prizes!
We also all got to meet the infamous Matt Mills, and watch his show debut on the incredible miracle horse blue thunder!
The kids watched some very nice horses compete, and set lots of new goals for next year! After all, that’s what this is really about; Letting these kids dream big and be exposed to great parts of our Industry.
Thank you to EVERYONE that helped make this show happen. Alex Booth for all the setting up, taking down, cleaning stalls, making hay runs, and of course keeping the facility at home running!
Ariel Dollar as well!!
Thank you of course to my mom Lori Dugdale for keeping Lila while I was working long hours! (As always)
Thank you to ALL the moms of Roberseon Equine, they are the reason we stay fed, hydrated, sane, (ha) and of course help with Lila!
Also let’s give a huge thank you to Aaron Roberson for everything he does! The list is too long..
And OF course Robin Chance. She is a huge mentor to this group and one of the reasons it exists. So she is apart of every win 💕
There are so many more people to thank for making all of this happen! Of course thank you to all of my clients for trusting me with your horses and kids. Congratulations to all !
