This is a first for Robeson County 4-H. Thanks to the St. Paul's Pony club and Libby Burney, their organizational volunteer leader, four members of the club have gone somewhere no other Robeson County 4-H club has gone before. This elite team of juniors competed in the South Central District Horse Bowl. It was a tough competition, with five teams from Moore County, a team from Union County and a team from Cabarrus county. Representing Robeson County were Brianna Cryer, Chasity McClay, Daniel Bourhenne, and Megan Butler who also served as the team captain. 
For those of you who don't know the horse bowl is like a quiz bowl. Teams of four youth go head to head in the competition as horse specific questions are asked. Whoever buzzes in first gets to answer the question. At the end which ever team has the most correct answers win.
In the first time out our team was incredible. Although eliminated in the first round they only lost by a few questions. Word also has it that they were great sports and exemplified the 4-H spirit through the entire competition. Congratulations to our first horse bowl team! We can't wait to see what you do next year.
