The UA Horse Judging Team represented the University of Arkansas at the National Reining Horse Association Collegiate Contest and the National Cutting Horse Association Collegiate Contest earlier this December. 

"The students did an excellent job and put in a semester of hard work," said coach Chelsea Campbell. "Not one of them had judging experience at the collegiate level going in to these contests. Most of the other teams we competed against were finishing out their judging season, and here our students were just getting their feet wet. I'm proud of what they've accomplished, and I hope it sparks other students to be involved with the team."

The team placed 9th at the NRHA contest and 4th at the NCHA contest, winning $750.00. 

Team members include: Alexis Selman, Kyle Kennedy, Ashton Williams, Kaley Collins and Madison Powell; coached by Chelsea Campbell.
