One of our younger members, Kirstie Buerkley, has
been named to receive the Junior Exhibitor/Youth Award from the American
Hackney Horse Association. This honor
is "awarded to a junior exhibitor who through her efforts has encouraged
other youths to participate in the Hackney breed. This individual must exhibit outstanding sportsmanship,
suitability to the division in which they participate, presentation of the
entries shown and work to enhance the promotion of the breed through their
representation." Ms. Buerkley will
receive her award at the AHHS National Awards Winners Banquet on January 8,
2009 in Hilton Head Island, NC. Young Ms.
Buerkley drove her road pony Dun-Haven Grandiose to the 2007 and 2008 Junior
Exhibitor Road Pony 13 and Under World Championship. Her latest achievement came at the American Royal in Kansas City,
MO with a victory in the AHHS Road Pony 13 and Under Medallion class. Congratulations to Kirstie!
