The Powder River Working Horse Show took place last Thursday, with competitors vying for a custom saddle along with top honors by utilizing their riding skills, as well as their horse's training and ability to try and best the local competition in several categories including cutting, heading, heeling, reining, ranch conformation, ranch riding, ranch trail, barrel racing, and pole bending.
Taking home the top honors this year was Britt Williams, followed in second by Kaila Williams and in third by Chris Elwood. A youth competition this year put Laney Williams up against Paige Shaw, with Laney taking first place. Impressively, Paige competed in both the youth and open categories, competing on her three year old horse in the youth category, and the older gelding in the open.
With the win, Britt will take over the duties of holding next year's competition. This year the competition was held by Melissa Ashley, who won in 2020. The annual event is open for competitors from Powder River and surrounding counties.
