Central’s BriAnna McRae 4-H State Horse Show Winner

BriAnna McRae is 11 years old and has been riding horses since she was 4.  She lives with her parents and siblings and attends Central schools. 

She is a member of the Livingston Horse Show Association (LHSA) and a member of the Greenwell Springs Youth Riders (GSYR), a mounted drill team. She was the LHSA 2019 Peanut Champion and 2020 Peanut Reserve Champion.

At the 2021 4-H District Horse show in June, BriAnna took 1st  Place in Western Pleasure and Trail and qualified in Horsemanship.  She competed at the state level and won Grand Champion in the Trail Class, which qualified her for the 4-H- Southern Regionals Horse Championship in Perry, Georgia July 28 through Aug. 1.  Trail is a judged class, by a National Approved Judge, on maneuvers on horseback such as loping over logs, crossing a bridge, pivots in small area and open/closing a gate.

Bri is riding a 6-year-old registered quarter horse mare named Lucky Twisted, whose barn name is Rosie.  Bri showed Rosie’s mother, Lucky Miss Kitty, to win her 2019 LHSA championship.  These two horses were raised and trained on her place.  A 6-year-old horse is not as seasoned as older horses in the show pen.  This makes BriAnna’s efforts worth celebrating.  

Congratulations, BriAnna McRae and good luck in the future!
