Well for all of you that follow my blog, this is Katie McAndrew. She has been showing mine and Bob's foals for the past 4 years, with outstanding results, if I do say so myself. In 2006, she began with my Star. She took her to the All American Quarter Horse Congress and took 7th place. That year she also qualified for the 4-H production show in Harrisberg, Pa, where she took 1st place.
The next year, she and her sister Liz, each took one of Bob's foals. They exposed them both to life off the farm and did well with them. The 2 foals were just learning and had a late start with the Katie and Liz, so they each took 2nd place at the production show that year. Star did not show this year as she had an injury, that was not healed by time of production.
In 2008, Katie showed Star again as a 2yr old, and her half sister, Peanut. As before, she did an outstanding job with both of them. They qualified again for the production show in Harrisburg, where they both took 1st in their classes. A job well done Katie!
This year, Katie is showing Peanut once again. Peanut is a yearling and under Katie's training, is doing a fine job. She will be at the Production Show again in Harrisburg, Pa. I am sure Katie will do a great job as she has done in the past.
Now, on to the award.....Katie has been chosen the "Outstanding 4-H Person of the Year" in the state of Pennsylvania! Wow, what an honor and well deserved! She will be reconized at the State 4-H Horse Show in Harrisburg, Pa. on October 24, 2009. Katie, thank you for all you have done for us and we just wish you the best.
Now for the sad news. This is Katie's last year in 4-H, as she is now a freshman at Cal U. But her talents continue there. She is now riding on their equestrian team and doing fabulous from what her Mom says. We have no doubt that she will be a shining star there also.
