GOSHEN COUNTY – Local 4-H members, Kylie Carson, Cora Frederick, Kendall Haas and Dally Wilkins earned Reserve Champion in the Western National 4-H Round-Up Horse Judging Contest held during the National Western Stock Show in Denver.

Classes included four halter classes, including Clydesdale Geldings, and five performance classes including Ranch Riding, Western Pleasure, Reining, Hunter Under Saddle and Hunt Seat Equitation.
