Horsin' Around Horse Club takes the Reins at State

This past week 4-H horse enthusiasts from around the state came together for the annual State 4-H Horse Show. Although Robeson County did not have anyone riding in the show we still made people stand up and take notice in the Horse Creative Expression Contest.

Three members of the Horsin' Around 4-H Horse Club entered 6 different pieces of work to take home three awards. Dakota Strickland entered an original photo and took first place in the cloverbud division, receiving a medal for his efforts. Rebekka Girouard and Megan Hurst both juniors entered pieces into the photo and drawing divisions and Megan also completed a painting for the painting division. All of these divisions are very competitive. When the judges had their final say and the points were tallied Rebekka earned a fifth place ribbon for her photograph and Megan earned a fourth place ribbon for her painting.

These 4-H members worked hard on their artistic pieces and deserve a pat on the back for their efforts that show Robeson County youth have incredible talent. We are just glad they took a chance and people across the state took notice of our incredible 4-H youth.
