I’m incredibly thankful to the Virginia 4-H Horse Program and Hunter Liles Phillips along with the volunteers, leaders, and staff for all of their endless work effort, preparation, and implementation of the State 4-H Horse and Pony Show.

This was the first year for our small unit, Cumberland 4-H Horse and Pony Club to compete at the State Show. I’m proud of our group for showing perseverance and lifting each other up when times were tough! I’m so proud of your sportsmanship and kindness!

A special thanks to Beth Telliard Gibson for her decorating expertise. Candice Waycaster for coaching Meredith Rula to a great dressage and jumping experience! Also, to our extension agent, Linda Eanes for supporting us in the stands and on the ground! We missed (Gracie) Deidre Davis Martin, but happy to have Heather Marie Davis (Emslee) participate in artwork and coming to support the club!

I’m truly so grateful for everyone’s efforts toward a great experience! 💜

Congratulations to Sarah Conway on her purchase of “Hopeful Dreams”! This filly has been such an inquisitive, sweet, smart, and just an awesome learning experience for my family and students! It was a beautiful drive through the VA. WVA, and PA mountainside. Hope settled in very quickly and her barn family was quick to welcome her! I can’t wait to see her progress in the coming years! 🐴 💕

Whew what a trip! Meredith and the entire VA 4-H team represented our State beautifully at the 2026 Southern 4-H Regional competition -July 31-Aug 2 in Perry, GA. Our exhibitors took home some nice ribbons and positive feedback by our competitors. I am so thankful for the VA team for their overall encouragement and spectacular sportsmanship throughout this competition. They cheered each other on, lending a hand or a necessary tool to make everything come together for this competition. Great job to all!

It was fun to have a little one on one time with Bonnie Boo yesterday! We got home in time for bushhogging and a few cool pasture pics. 💜

We had our first District 4-H Qualifying Clinic at the Cumberland 4-H Horse and Pony Club. Hunter Equitation, jumping, and showmanship were the focus. Thanks to Dora Wynne for being such an awesome clinician! Everyone learned a lot and had a blast.
