I started by collecting the scorecard from Judge Lorette, then lining up horses according to where the judge wanted them, setting up cones for the patterns, and calling out the numbers on the backs of the contestants. My favorite part of this experience was getting to tell the horses when to walk, trot or canter as they were being judged. I am very thankful for BVR letting me help at a western horse show and would love to do it again! ~Colby McCormick 4-H is an equal opportunity organization under the Maricopa CountyExtension, University of Arizona.
