The top three winners in four different categories, first to third, were:

Intermediates: Chloe Jansen, Maggie Ivanochko and Savannah Neilson.

This is the third year for the Rusty Spurs 4-H Light Horse Club. Last year the club had 22 members and this year it has 30 members, Nelson stated.
The members range from six to 18 years of age. Club members have been having meetings once a month at Sturgis Composite School.
