Wow!! What a day! ❤️

Jack Benny is solely run by our Youth Group and volunteers, and it was truly heartwarming to see how many riders came out to support our kids! We had almost 40 riders today, and our Youth Group worked incredibly hard all day long to keep the show running smoothly.

A huge thank you to all of our Youth Group parents who manned the gate all day, worked the ribbon table, and jumped in wherever they were needed. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

A very special thank you to Purina for generously donating the beautiful baskets for our Best Dressed Awards! 🎁

It was definitely a long day, but it was a long day because we had such an amazing turnout—and that is something to be incredibly grateful for.

Thank you all for coming out, supporting our Youth Group, and helping make Jack Benny so special.

These kids are the future of our sport, and today was a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. ❤️🐴

If you have any pictures from today please leave them in our comments!!

Until next year, Jack Benny! 🏆🐴
