Facin and I went to the All American Quarter Horse Congress held in Columbus Ohio. We qualified to be on the National Youth Team Tournament. Classes we qualified for were: Showmanship, Horsemanship, and Western Pleasure. The classes we showed in were Showmanship and Horsemanship. Did not make it to finals but we had an AWESOME time! It was an honor just to make it there!
