Showing horses in 4-H has been a tradition that Debbie Robinson has enjoyed since she was a child. At nine years old, Robinson began showing horses and made friends that have lasted a lifetime.
“I met these people when I was nine years old, became best friends and was even in each other’s weddings. Once you develop a friendship in 4-H, they become family to you."
