In a few weeks, my team and I will compete for Virginia at the American quarter horse Congress and national convention. I’m so excited to represent my state in hippology and horse judging. However, I am very upset that my time in this contest will be over and soon my time in FFA. I will forever be thankful for the amazing six years I have had in this organization! #ffa #horsegirl #hippology #horsejudging #statechampion

The Next-Gen Animal Systems Conference was such an amazing experience. I learned so much about myself as well as about career opportunities in such a short amount of time. So proud I could represent VA! Thank you to everyone who made this conference outstanding. 💙💛
