Leah, age 12, is still riding Nadia in 4H.  Last year was mostly pleasure riding since all events were cancelled, but this year they’ve been getting back into competition. She rides Nadia both English and Western for Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat, Dressage, Stock Seat, Bareback, and Western Gaming (which is Nadia’s favorite).  They’ve been doing qualifier events, and are signed up for the Thurston County Youth Fair events in July and will likely qualify for the WA State fair in Puyallup in September.
