Baton Rouge, LA - The Southern
University Agricultural Research and Extension Center kicked off its 44th
Annual Horse Show and Trail Ride, April 12 at the Maurice A. Edmond Livestock
Arena in Baker with gates opening at 12:00 noon. Trail riders from as far as
Texas, Mississippi, and North Louisiana converged in Baton Rouge for the event.
The horse parade including riders of all ages galloped around the Baker area
with different horse riding associations. The event concludes tonight with performance
by local entertainers.
The Last of the Dying Breed Club from Clinton headed by Chris McKnight
and Ray Davis came arrayed in red riding gear with youth of all ages. “We bring youth riders together to have fun, learn
discipline, showmanship, and stay out of trouble,” said McKnight.
The East Baton Rouge Southern Jr. Posse led by Megan Johnson came in
blue outfit. Ms. Johnson reported that, “They
have been coming to the show since they were babies. We welcome kids of all
ages to learn showmanship, grooming and responsibility. In addition, our youth go out and teach other
kids how to prepare their animals for the show.
The club is open to all EBR youth even those without horses.”
