On Saturday, Sept. 12, the evening session at the Virginia Horse Center was all about speed. 4-Hers from around Virginia came together to see who was the fastest in the commonwealth. Spectators cheered on their favorites and the camaraderie of 4-H showed through as children and family from the same counties became large cheering sections. The competition varied from those that trotted through the pattern to blazing fast times from more experienced competitors. The gymkhana portion was held in the Coliseum and held center stage for a few hours until the Western Classics got under way in the East Complex across the horse center. Here are some photos from the Cloverleaf Barrels portion of the show.
