Hey I'm Katie Niemerski, and I am your Region 13 Youth Director. I'm 17 and a junior at Jenison High School. My grandparents started me out with riding lessons in Connecticut seven years ago. When I got back home I found Quest Training Stables and have been riding there ever since. I have one horse named Toi Gigolo CRF that I ride Saddle Seat Equitation, Country Pleasure, Show Hack, Costume, and Sidesaddle. This is my second year as the Region 13 Youth Director, and it is a lot of fun. You get to meet a lot of new people, and see what goes on with other regions. This year we had a meeting in Orlando with all of the Youth Directors. Here we decided that our theme for Youth Nationals would be "Under The Sea". We have already started coming up with some cool ideas for our golf cart at the parade of regions at Youth Nationals! Once again we will be doing our Regional Garland fundraiser! This fundraiser helps us with the funds for all our Youth activities, meetings, pizza parties as well as garlands for the youth classes at our Region 13 Championship show. I'm looking forward to another great year! If you have any questions feel free to send me an email.

Hey everyone, I am Brooke Hogan your Region 13 Youth Vice Director! I am 15 and a sophomore at Hudsonville High School. I started riding when I was 4 years old, and have been hooked since! My first horse was Diamond Amadis "DA", he was 14 at the time and he taught me so much! I still have him and he is now 26 and retired living at home. I have two horses that I currently show a Half-Arab Hunter Mare I Hear Them Too who is 5 years old and a Half-Arab Western Gelding George W Bush LRA who is 7 years old. I have been riding with Quest Training Stables for the last 9 years and I absolutely love it! I am looking forward to a great 2011 Show Season and can't wait to show, watch, cheer on my friends, and have a great time! If you have any questions feel free to send me an email.
