Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the South Carolina 4-H Horse Program Horse Bowl team took top honors at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup in Louisville, Kentucky, in November 2015; and
Whereas, the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup is a national 4-H competition with participants from across the nation competing in six contests at the 2015 event. Horse Bowl tests each youth's knowledge in horse breeds, anatomy, equipment, and equine management; and
Whereas, the contest participants for the South Carolina 4-H Horse Program Horse Bowl included Kristy Waldrep of Charleston, Hailey Mundell of Prosperity, Katherine Ellig of Columbia, Hannah Steele of Chester, and Aubrey Miller of Troy; and
Whereas, Kristy Waldrep was named the individual contest reserve champion, and Hailey Mundell placed fourth in the high individual category; and
Whereas, two other 4-H participants, Hannah McKinney of Charleston and Ashtyn Kinney of Greenwood, comprised the state's public speaking team, with Hannah winning eighth high individual in the Public Speaking Contest; and
Whereas, in this demanding field, Dr. Kristine Vernon and the skilled advisory staff capitalized on their personal Horse Bowl training to build a championship team and teach these participants lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life; and
Whereas, the South Carolina 4-H Youth Development Program, part of the 4-H community across America, uses the involvement of caring adults, a learn-by-doing approach, and knowledge and resources of Clemson University and the land-grant university system to teach leadership, life skills, and citizenship that can empower youth to become productive, contributing members of society; and
Whereas, the national 4-H Horse Program has more than 260,000 participants, the largest of 4-H's animal-related programs; and
Whereas, South Carolina is currently home to eighty-five thousand horses, and the beneficial economic impact of the horse industry in the State is approximately $478 million, including equine expenses, equine sales, and other equine income; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the public speaking and individual demonstration team members of the South Carolina 4-H Horse Bowl have brought to our great State and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
