Kids 'hoof it up' in Encampment

Barrels, poles, keyhole and little kids on big horses at the Encampment Lions Club Horse show

The 2014 Encampment/Riverside Lions Club Youth Horse Show was held at the Lions Club Arena in Encampment on Saturday. Children and adults alike enjoyed the stiff competition from the 26 entrants.

Girls, who made up 80 percent of the competitors, won both the overall Hi-point in the show and took nine of 13 top spots in the five age classes. Aubrey Berger, of Saratoga,won the overall Hi-Point buckle.

Lanae McDonald, an equestrian team coach and equine studies instructor at Laramie County Community College, was the guest judge of the days events.

At three years old, Mesa Suttee was the youngest competitor and she swept the non-existent competition in the Lead Line class. Even at her tender age, this was not Mesa's first competition, she contended in another show earlier this year.
