Youth World Spotlight

📸Carissa Stuedle & Instaglam📸

Carissa, Enjoy every minute of your final Youth World! Take in the memories and Have fun! It’s been a great journey with a lot of laughs, lots of hard work, early mornings, late night rides, and some hard days but very proud of how much you have learned! It’s been a fun ride! Go have some great rides!

Thank you TSC in Norfolk for carrying Purina Replenimash! The horses are loving it and helping keep them hydrated during this nasty hot spell!

Congratulations to all the state 4H exhibitors!
I was able to sneak away Monday and Tuesday and watch all the kids show their horses! Your hard work has paid off. Very proud of each and every one of you. A lot of goals accomplished. A lot of tough practices that turn into great rides in the show pen!  You all had some hot long days, but showed and prepped your horses very well!

A huge thank you to Carol Nielsen and Kay Pofahl for allowing this to happen!!!
I did not do very well at taking pictures, but it was really fun enjoying watching the kids show off what they worked so hard for!
Huge shout out to Cindy Wolverton for doing a very good job keeping everything run smoothly and everybody involved!

Thank you to the Iowa Pinto horse association, and all volunteers judges, scribes, ring Stewart’s, Jason, the gate guy, office staff and everyone who makes a show happen. We had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, each team accomplished many goals. Even had two teams get in the pen for their first time and had success.
