Back in 2020! The State 4-H and Open Horse Judging Competition at Equifest of Kansas starts bright and early in the morning! Talented youth will view six classes on display in Ag Hall Arena and will place them in the order they see fit. Class categories could include Halter, Horsemanship, Pleasure, English, Ranch, Trail or Reining. Following placings in Ag Hall, competitors will move to tunnel rooms at Tony’s Pizza Events Center where they will practice and prepare to give up to two sets of oral reasons to the evaluators. The Kansas State University Horse Judging Team is officiating this competition. At 2:00 p.m. in the Workshop Room upstairs from the TPEC Lobby, Adrian “Buckaroogirl” Brannan will be sharing stories of her free spirit cowgirl lifestyle. From the Scottish Highlands, to recording her first album at the age of 14, when she suddenly realized her life’s purpose. “I realized that I had things to say, a [cowboy] culture I longed to protect, and a spirit that had to wander. It was stumbling into perfection, into meaning and into something I’ve never regretted for a minute. It was like coming home.” Title of her presentation: “The West Wasn’t Won On A Salad.” At the end of this special presentation, competitors will remain seated to be presented results and awards from the judging contest.
