The Group at YES 2010

VQHYA Members Whitney Southall, Kimberly Brown, Colby Ringer, Michael Felts, Kacie Collier, and Shiloh Finch attended this year’s Youth Excellence Seminar in Amarillo, Texas.

The group had a full schedule visiting the AQHA Headquarters and AQHA Hall of Fame and Museum, shopping at Cavendar’s Boot City, listening to campaign speeches, hearing from “teen” motivational expert Grant Baldwin, hearing from US Equestrian Coach and Sports Psychologist Daniel Stewart, and participating in many other activities!

VQHYA would like to extend a special thank you to Holly Brown, who was a fantastic chaperone.
