Bit N' Bridle enjoyed the Virginia Horse Festival while attending our state knowledge weekend known as EquiSmartz. We watched clinics on jumping and riding gaited horses as well as trying our hands at shoeing a "horse".
The contest was a great way to test what we learned from all of our studying this year. Club members participating included Andie, Cora, Alisa, Alayna, Emily, Matthew and Charlotte. We were fortunate to be paired with other 4-Hers for some contests and we enjoyed competing with Savannah, Claire, and Carrie from Craig and Rockingham counties.
