Throughout the week of Sept. 2-9, some of the Hillsboro FFA members exhibited their horses.
Members included Presley Blankenship, Kailyn Greer, Raylee Barnett, Abbie Rudy, Ryan Mau and Samantha Tipton. These members exceeded all expectations and accomplished many goals during their time at the Highland County Fair.
There were many highlights of the horse events/races, including Presley Blankenship receiving first in pole bending and second in barrels, stakes, and keyholes. Next, Kailyn Greer finished first in barrels, keyholes and stakes; third in overall high point and roping; and fourth in extreme trail and ranch horse pleasure.
Raylee Barnett received first in the open show as well as the youth class in the NBHA show. Abbie Rudy finished first in her halter class and fourth in the western pleasure. On Wednesday, she showed again and got third, fourth and fifth in her class.
Ryan Mau was the champion showman for the horses. Lastly, Samantha Tipton placed first in ground roping.
The Hillsboro FFA Chapter could not be more proud of these members and cannot wait to see what they accomplish in the future.
