Although the colors for English competition are a bit more subdued, competition remained fierce into the second day of the 4-H Horse Show.

In their smaller saddles, English riders face different terminology and skills than their Western counterparts. Through a variety of classes, the 4-Hers proved they have both sets of skills.

Many of the English riders and horses were the same as in Western competition, but the numbers were smaller. Shedding their chaps and spurs, the competitors rode their horses in walks, trots and canters.

Although the style of dress looks a bit more like how one might imagine a fox hunt, the quest on the slightly breezy Sunday morning was for first-place standing.

Full results were not yet available as of press time, however the longest class - Versatility - stood out as an example of the skills of the county’s horsemen.

First, the riders were called upon to show their English skills. Then, they were given five minutes to change tack and dress before returning to show Western riding skills followed by reigning and poles.

At the end of competition, Danielle Keillor and her horse, Bad Bertha's Boy, rode to victory.

During Saturday’s competition, Keillor said her horse, who is nicknamed Gordy, was being a bit stubborn. At the age of six, she noted, he seems to know it all. By Sunday, his attitude seemed to have been reigned in as he carried Keillor to her first place finish.
