The Area 3 Promotional Club's Youth Team competed in the
National Youth Activity Team Tournament held recently at the All
American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio.
The Team consisted of Hannah Buijs and Sarah Donaldson competing
in Showmanship, Kathyrn Stanton and Carly Epp competing in
Horsemanship, Katie Hubbert and Jodie Rawn competing in Barrels,
Tayler Longhouse and Tiana Domingos competing in Hunter Under
Saddle, Blair Hoskins competing in Western Pleasure and Darby
Mailhot competing in Reining.
The girls all had a great day competing against youth from 75
other teams and had great results, Carly Epp was 10th in the
Horsemanship, Katie Hubbert was 10th in the Barrels and Kathryn
Stanton was a finalist in the Horsemanship, with everyone else
competing to the best of their abilities.
I would like to thank everyone who supported the Area 3 Youth
Team this year, I'd especially like to thank the Board of
Directors of Area 3 for all of their help and support, Circle R
Saddlery and Equine Massage by Heather Doig.

Did you know that... Area 3 offers a year end
commemorative youth achievement award?
Each year the Area 3 board of Directors watches the activity at
the horse shows and related club events throughout the year to
find possible youth candidates who would fit the criteria of an
‘achiever’ in the horse world. The recipient of this award is
someone who must exemplify both sportsmanship and horsemanship.
An individual who is a role model for all youth, generous and
courteous to all. Helpful and instrumental in various club
activities. Quick to offer congrats and encouragement. Treating
her horse with respect and care. A youth who cares deeply for
the quarter horse‘s versatile qualities. It is with careful
thought and consideration of all the great youth in our club
that the executive, with some assistance from others within our
industry, must select one individual who sets the standard for
excellence.
