Ronald Graettinger, Chairman Carmen Moser, County Auditor published October 31, 2018 Mackenzie Berkland, from Ruthven and a senior at Emmetsburg High School, competed in the largest youth horse judging contest in the na- tion; the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio on October 17th. She along with 3 other girls from Iowa represented the Iowa Quarter Horse Association. Berkland ended up 6th highest individual overall out of the 88 youth from across the nation in her division. This contest requires contestants to place in correct order 4 horses in each of 12 different classes including 3 halter classes, trail, western riding, ranch riding, western horsemanship, western plea- sure, hunter under saddle, hunt seat equitation, hunter hack (jump- ing), and reining. Each class has its own set of criteria with different penalties and credits. Youth then defend their choices on 4 classes by giving oral reasons. Reasons are evaluated based on accuracy, relevan- cy, terminology, organization, and presentation. Judging experiences contribute to the development of critical and logical thinking skills, self-confidence, communication and presentation skills. fi nd many career opportunities in all phases of the horse industry. Some of the specific jobs available to equine students are stewards, rid- ing instructors, trainers, horse show judges and show personnel. Mackenzie is excited to attend Black Hawk College, “I choose Black Hawk East because they have one of the most successful horse judging teams in the country. They have a good facility and have a very experienced coach. I also like that they have a riding team so that I can both ride and judge. In addition, they have a long history of tra nsferring students from their school to West Texas A&M.” So how does this commitment fit into her career plans? Mackenzie says “This commitment fits my ca- reer plans because Black Hawk East has a great reputation and many con- nections in the equine industry, while also having an Ag transfer program. I plan to transfer to West Texas A&M after I graduate at Black Hawk East for degrees in Animal Science and Equine Industry and Business. West Texas A&M also has a great Horse Judging Team and I hope to judge for them too. In the long run, I do hope to get a breed show judges card and supplement my income by judging horse shows.” Mackenzie says “Once I have completed my degrees, I plan to come back to Iowa and pursue a ca- reer in agriculture and help out on my family’s farm. I am interested in nutrition, but I am not sure exactly what I want to do. I think once I get more experience with different things in college I will be better able to decide what I want to do.” Mackenzie says it has taken a village to get where she is today. From her love of horses as a very young child, encouragement by her Ruthven/Ayrshire 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Pitt, to 4-H and her family. “My parents have been awesome for getting me horses and allowing me to travel all over. But others have helped through the years as well.” “Jessica Haukoos has taught me all of the foundatio nal skills of rid- ing horses. Justin Britton Perfor- mance horses have given me the op- portunity to work with and develop a keen sense of quality of movement in horses. Ronia Klootwyk, our 4-H Club leader always encouraged get- ting out and practicing if only for 5 minutes. John Pipkin, James Lat- timer, Aaron Callahan, Lisa Onstot, Paul Rogers and Sarah Schobert were all coaches that have offered camps or provided me feedback that has helped me to improve my judg- ing.” Mackenzie went on to say there are numerous 4-H and other vol- unteers that make the horse shows and judging contests happen. And numerous teammates and competi- tors that whether they know it or not, motivate her to push herself because “I know they are all working just as hard as I am! As you can see, it has taken a village!” Congratulations Mackenzie, and best of luck on your adventures com- ing. Horses from page 1
