Congratulations to Josie and Rawhide Dreamsicle and their 4-H State show accomplishments!

These two had their BEST rides yet in Ranch Riding and Ranch Rail—and brought home TWO STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

And because apparently two state championships weren’t enough for one day, they finished it off by placing 2nd out of FIFTY in Hunter Showmanship for Reserve!
