The Bowling Green 4-H equestrian club calls itself the BG Midnight Riders! I love that name, it's adorable. Here's a cluster of members hanging out at the horse barn on the first day of fair. Each of the competing clubs has a stretch of the show barns where they set up their shop and keep their horses. Not only are they judged for their horse showing classes, but they are judged on their horse and barn management skills, and their ability to make an appealing visitor's space for guests walking through the barn. Some of the clubs really were outstanding in this regard! They decorated with funny posters showcasing the teams of horses and riders. They put a lot of thought and care into their presentations. The fair has a great class called the Horse Cleaning Competition where a team of grooms provides a horse, judges muddy him, and they have a short period of time to do their best to clean that dirty ol' pony! I just think the fair is great!
