REGION XI NEW YOUTH BUCKLES

Region XI is excited and honored to offer the youth of our region a chance to win 2 beautiful Montana Silver buckles in memory of Marlys Anderson. Marlys was a long time breeder, regional director and huge youth supporter. Marlys’ husband Nate sent a check to be used over the next 5 years in her name.

We decided a buckle was a great honor and something all the youth of our region would be proud to wear. They will be known as the “Youth Ambassador” buckles. One will be earned through rated shows only and the other will be earned through non-rated shows only. Both must also be involved in a promotion for the Arabian Breed. The entry forms will be on our Regional Web site soon. The buckles will be given out at our regional show in July of 2017. This year only, the points will be garnered from 1/1/17-7/1/17, then starting in 2018 they will be from 7/1/17-7/1/18. Youth must be a member of region xi and aha to enter.

We will have pictures of the buckles on the web site soon. This will be a great thing for all youth in our region.
