ADK first time showing a horse....

ADK did a great job since it was his first time showing 5 of the 6 animals.

Emma Wells form Milton-Freewater won the Grandchampionship for showmanship.

Swine Champship Round

During the competition the judge took the kids canes away and had them work the pigs with just their hands. ADK actually liked working his pig with out the cane and did very well. The pig also did well with out the cane.

In this round the judge opened the gate into the ring and the kids had to keep their pigs in the ring. If the pig went out they were out of the competition. ADK did a great job of keeping the pig on the other side on the ring. There were 2 or 3 kids that could not keep their pigs away.

Andrew won award the Grand Champion Showmanship ribbon for the Swine division. Now he goes on to compete in the All-Around where he has to show 6 different type of animals.

Mom and Dad are very proud of ADK.
