Legacy Leaders Division- 14- 17 year Old
Luke Miller
Luke, 14, loves to be outdoors. He loves riding, roping, welding and working on his mini excavation business. Someday he hopes to own and operate an excavation company, as well as run a herd of cattle. Luke has been waiting for an opportunity to train his first horse. He has been riding and team roping for years and has been eager to start Midas. Luke bought Midas as a weanling and has done all the ground work himself. Luke has been learning from a local farrier how to trim and shoe his own horses. He hopes to turn Midas into a team roping horse deluxe. Midas, a cute little black colt, turned 2 in the late fall and is primed to start under saddle. Luke has been able to put his first few rides on him.
August Dewitt
August is 15 years old. He has grown up around horses, he teethed on the reins and did his first pack trip in diapers. He has competed in the hunter/jumpers all over the west, been successful in 4-h and even gentled a yearling mustang through the blm and 4h. He would like to compete in the pony challenge so that he can be motivated to get his young quarter pony a bit more ridable. He got Captain Fantastic (aka Tiko) as an untouched yearling. He has successfully halter broke him, gentled him and even lightly started him at the walk and a tiny bit of trot. When August is not working with horses he can be found bull riding, skiing and acting.
