Riding Tall in the Saddle at District

 
                                 
  Its not often that we field 4-H members for the District Horse show.  It's tough enough when our members know what to expect but competing this year in a new district was an even greater challenge.  Leave it up to the St. Paul's 4-H Pony Club to step up to the challenge.  Club members Chasity McClay and Megan Butler went all out and entered in the Gaming Division.  They competed in Jr. Poles, Jr. Stake Race, Jr. Barrels, Jr. Texas Barrels, Jr. Flag Race.  The competition was held in Williamston, NC which was quite a haul for our competitors and their horses.  None the less they arrived early to get everything ready and whatever the magic formula it must have worked.
When they got done both had placed first and second in each of the categories taking the show by storm.  Chasity was named champion, and Megan was runner up.  Both qualified for State competition and will in Raleigh representing Robeson County and the District on July 10th.  Congratulations to both Chasity and Megan on a job well done!!!!
