Another day of Youth Nationals has gone by, and all of a sudden, the show is over halfway through! Before we know it, we'll all back home and out of this blissful Youth Nationals 'bubble' we've all come to love. Today, there were still a few cut ribbons awarded, even more national championships received, and for me, a very informative and interesting experience. After I rode a purebred hunt horse in the YN judge's clinic, I was able to spend a few classes of the Horse Arena's afternoon session in the announcer's booth, taking in the mechanics of various Youth Nationals classes at their most fundamental level. I was able to speak with ring stewards, the music girl, commissioners, judges, and more about their experiences and thoughts on the show. It was an incredibly enlightening and fun afternoon for me!
This Wednesday of the show also offered a more free time for all as there were no evening classes held in either show ring! Because of this uncustomary free time, there were a couple events on the show grounds. These were the 20th anniversary celebration of Youth Nationals and Burkman Training Centre's open house party. Below are some pictures of the event!
