The North Carolina State 4-H Horse Show, held at the JB Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh, was a spectacle of skill, determination, and artistic talent. This year, Currituck County’s 4-H members made an impressive mark on the event.

Each participant clinched a spot in the top ten across all their events, with several taking top honors in their divisions.

  • Cayden Lowe: Champion in the Senior Western Division
  • Sophie Haislop: Champion in the Junior Western Division
  • Karleigh Meads: Champion in the Little Britches Division

  • Isabel Cox: 2nd place in poetry
