Youth Nationals Question of the Day

By Brittany Butterworth and Olivia White

What are some of the oddest nicknames you call your horse?

Taylor Dawson "I call my horse Woop because I couldn't pronounce his real name when I was younger."	Danielle Rosenbaum "I call my horse Sweet Cheeks because of her huge cheeks."
Kayla Haggerty "I call my horse Kitty Cat even though it's a horse."
	Roy Dawson "I call my horse MC Alder Boo because he used to get spooky at everything."
Stephanie Redmond (Left) "I call him Rotten Cotton because he is rotten!" Macie Long (Right) "I call my horse Casper, like Casper the Ghost, but his real name is Paullie."
	Emma Kendrick "I call her Squish because she is big and squishy."
Noa Crowley "I call my horse named City Limit "Queens Walrus' because she is so big."
	Holland Stevens "I call my horse the Grubenator and I don't know why."
Melissa Johnson "I call my horse the Grinch because he always pins his ears at other horses."

Makin' the Cut

The paddock is all about determination, elation, tears, laughter, resignation and every other emotion that comes with winning, losing and knowing you did your best of your life as shown by these exhibitors in Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure JOTR 14-17.
