Horsewoman Wins Colt
A few years ago Billie Jo Con
rad of Georgetown, Del., was
thrown from a pony and never
wanted to ride horseback again.
Now the 13-year-old 4-H’er is the
1988 winner of a quarter horse
weanling from famous sausage
maker Bob Evans.
Every year the restauranteur
invites one teenager from each of
the 12 states where his products
are sold to a Western-style round
up on his 1,000-acre farm in Ohio.
The teens are chosen on the basis
of citizenship and involvement in
4-H. All return home with their
own quarter horse weanling.
This year’s roundup, complete
with campfires and trail rides, was
held September 9-11.
Billie Jo has been in 4-H for
five years and in the 4-H horse
program for two. She belongs to
the Just Kidding Around 4-H
Club. She is also a member of the
Delaware Appaloosa Youth Asso
ciation (DAYA) and has won
many ribbons in 4-H and DAYA
horse shows.
The horse she won is an eight
month-old chestnut colt with a
star, a stripe and a snip, and a
white front foot He’s named Split
Image Wimpy, and Billy Jo plans
to train and ride him for pleasure
Western style.
Billie Jo, an eighth grader at
Sussex Central Junior High
School, has had a lot of experience
working with horses. She helps
her parents take care of their two
ponies and four horses on the Con
rads’ Georgetown farm. She has
taken riding lessons for two years
