Dillon Chafin
Age 10
Her horse is Tuff
Dillon's goals for this year is to keep working to become a better rider and horseman above all but she also is really focused on adding speed to her barrel and pole times. Shes working hard to shave off a few seconds on each. She said she also wants to learn and participate in some of the other show events that she didn't last year. She is hoping to learn the stake race and a few others. She says to achieve her goal of a faster time she is going to continue working with her barrel coach and really applying each tip or skill she learns each week to make her better. She has really learned the importance of slow work and connecting with her horse. She also says to achieve her goals she has to work her horse even on off days she stretches tuffs sore legs and makes sure he's ready to go again the next day. She makes sure he's eating good and gets extra popsicles for his reward for working so hard. She said practice makes perfect and it's fun to get to practice everyday on something you love so much. She said giving him lots of love helps them be better too.
Dillon says that she would love to be a horse show queen because it would be a really neat experience to learn a lot of cool new things and meet new people to teach her new things about horses and she really loves that side of the horse world too. She said being a horse show queen is a really big and special job. She said she loves NWASCA and would be proud to represent this club. She said she would love to get to make new friends and talk about horses and show stuff to everyone. It is a major major dream of hers to carry a flag. She has always wanted to do that and she says it would be a dream come true for her and tuff. Sweet tuff has carried many flags in his lifetime so it's right up his alley. She loves the timed events side so much but she also LOVES showing her horse off and he REALLY LOVES the spotlight and loves it when he knows people are watching him lol
Dillon is 10 going on 11. Shes in 5th grade. She started riding when she was about 6. She is very sweet and kind hearted. She has the sweetest soul. She is a straight A student. She is very responsible and takes her school work very serious. She is a very loyal friend and the biggest cheerleader to others. She loves to see others happy and doing good at anything they do. And is always there when you need her. She plays volleyball but has recently decided not to play anymore because it takes away from horse riding time lol She loves spending time with her horses!! If she's not riding, she's at the barn doing something with the horses or the dogs. She loves anything to do with horses, weather it's the yearly horse show at the fair, riding in parades , roping the calf dummy, going to horse shows and barrel races or just trail riding at home. She also loves helping push calves while her aunt ropes and being the chute girl. Shes up bright and early on saddle club mornings so excited and ready to go. She recently won several ribbons and a reserve champion title at the fair show with 3 of her horses, she also won the 2d in the winter series she recently wrapped up a few days ago. Dillon was also reserve champion for 12 and under poles and barrels last year at southern tuff. And probably the biggest accomplishment for her is she was saved and baptized at church and so she now has Jesus in her heart. She has big goals and has gained so much confidence coming to the shows. We are very proud of her and all she has learned and the hard work she puts in.
Dillon is going to do barrels, poles, arena race, walk/trot and she's hoping to enter some new events this season also.
