Youth helping horses helping youth!
Kaleigh Newman + Boone
Hello! My name is Kaleigh Newman. I am a freshman and I have been paired with Boone. Boone is a 12 year old pinto pony gelding. He is slower to trust, but he has come a long way in our time together, and I can't wait to see what is to come!
David Kendrick + Hazelnut
Hey, My name is David Kendrick. I have been riding horses since I can remember. This year I am paired with Hazel, a grade buckskin paint mare. She is super smart and willing to learn, just lacks some experience so I hope to grow both my and her abilities through the year. Follow our journey at homesforhorses_hazel on Instagram.

Brianna Rohweder + Jess
Hey! My name is Brianna Rohweder, I am a freshman at Lufkin High School. I've always loved horses, and through Angelina County 4-H I found a Horse Judging Team and I have been part of it for the last 3 years. I currently have 3 other horses, Buck, Stormy and my little foal Chicken Nugget. I was paired with Jess, a sweet 16 year old flea bitten gray Quarter Horse. One of my goals with Jess is to improve her topline. Jess has already proven to be a very smart and fast learner. I am really looking forward to work with Jess and see how far we can go together.

In the previous year I was in the in-hand category and had a blast working with my horse X. I have been riding for about 8 years and ride english in the hunter jumpers. This year I have been partnered with Blackout (renamed Theo) a 16 yr old Saddlebred gelding. So far he has shown huge potential for the jumpers or dressage ring. He absolutely LOVES licking you and I am proud of his progress already and cannot wait for what is to come! Follow us along on instagram @m_chaloupka02
