State Champ

See that beautiful Best of Show ribbon
on the right.  Yippee!!

 Let me introduce a state champ, my Kristy.  First, she won first place in the state 4-H creative contests in early Feb. for her drawing of the superficial muscles of the horse.  She also took a top honor for Best of Show in her division.  Very thrilled for her!!

 

Then she led her team to victory at the state Hippology (equine science) contest held at Clemson University the last weekend of Feb.  She took first place in the written exam and took the top award, first place for her combined overall score in the contest.  Her team placed 2nd for their team oral presentation, 3rd for the written exam, and placed 4th overall. They competed against 21 one teams, over 80 other children, from across the state.                                  

See a proud dad in the background, after she won her first place!
