Agent hosted the Harding Co. horse show and over 25 youth participated from over 6 counties. This was a schooling show to encourage more youth to get involved and to prepare them for shows throughout the year. Participants were evaluated by a judge and then could ask the judge anything they wanted. As a result, youth learned about horse show events, received a chance to practice their skills and were rewarded with over 500$ in tack and prizes. These type of shows increase confidence, and allow youth to work towards their goals.
