West Nyack Equestrians Win at NY State Fair

Eight local girls ages 10 to 16 who are members of the Rockland County 4H Group (Horses R Us)—along with their trainer and owner of Nickel-O Farms, Lisa Owen—participated in the 4H NY State Youth Western Horse Show at the NY State Fair in Syracuse this past Thursday and Friday. 

The riders from Nickel-O Farms were Brielle Arena, Samantha Brosius, Jo Ann Coyne, Rachel Delcher, Samantha Dizzine, Mikayla Healy, Maggie Yanowitz and Olivia Zwernemann. They rode in various western events at the two-day show, including Trail, Horsemanship and Equitation. The successful group won a total of 21 ribbons, including twelve first, second and third place ribbons.

This was a 4H sponsored event at the State Fair, and included riders from all across the state of New York.
