First Ever Region 10 Youth Gathering Day
The Northern Minnesota Arabian Horse Association hosted the inaugural Region 10 Youth Gathering Day at their AVS show May 15 in Verndale, MN. As part of the activities, a Virtual Hippology Contest was held the same day. The Hippology Contest was open to individuals or teams with categories for AHA, 4H/FFA, and Adult. Participants did not need to be at the show to participate. Winners were 1st place, Faren Bebeau; 2nd place, Samantha Baker; 3rd place, Chloe Schaffer.
As part of the Region 10 Youth Gathering Day, a custom-made belt buckle was awarded to the youth rider who earned the most points on Saturday. Points could be earned on more than one horse. The luck winner of the Youth Gathering belt buckle was Lillian Ableidinger, a 13-year old rider from Hudson, WI.
The concept for the Youth Gathering Day is to have to move around our region from year to year. This year, the NMAHA Show in Verndale, MN. Next year - to be determined.

Region 16 Youth Updates
The youth of Region 16 are off to a great start in 2021 with Sloane Roncaioli as Youth Coordinator and Kiki Basta as youth director. Joining Kiki as Vice President is Saydee Straub. Saydee owns one Half-Arabian and leases a Purebred Arabian. She’s 14 years old and has been an active member of the region for four years. Saydee has been riding with Jelich Farms for seven years and shows in sport horse under saddle, equitation, and hunter pleasure. She says, “As vice president I hope to bring in more people and I’m so excited to be in this role!”
During the Arabian Horse Club of Connecticut Annual ‘A’ Show in early May, youth members organized a cookie basket raffle collecting more than $600 with 50% of the proceeds to go towards the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund.
AHDF President, Mary Trowbridge generously delivered an additional donation to the youth club of more than $300 saying, “Some people were so impressed by their efforts at the show and their involvement that they decided to match the amount that they made for AHDF.”
Many thanks to all who supported the Region 16 youth, especially Heather Tracey for the donation of the amazing cookie basket!
