Betty Niblett Winner Named At Fair It was a proud moment for An nie Crowe at the 1995 Delaware State Fair when the 4-H’er won the 1995 Betty Niblett Award. The equestrian award is given to the 4-H’er who scores the most points in two categories: horse manship, which is a test of riding ability, and showmanship, which involves the grooming and presen tation of the horse. Crowe, a 12-year-old who start ed riding at the age of 2, won with the help of her horse, an Appa loosa named Quincey Sugar Bar. A member of the A A 4-H Country Club in Dover, Crowe is an eques tnan accomplished in both Eng lish and western saddle.

I’d see her at the Fair every year. She knew a lot about horses and that’s what we talked about.” Last year’s winner, Kacie Rash, was on hand to congratulate the new winner. Rash, a member of the Westville 4-H Club, also has a long list of achievements to her name: Rash, a student at Caesar Rod ney High School, has been involv ed in equestrian activities for more than six years. She rides every weekend, plus two or more eve nings a week. The Camden teen also plays field hockey and has been active in community service projects, such as visiting nursing homes. Rash and Crowe are the kind of bright, young achievers whom the late Betty Niblett nurtured and guided during her many years of service to 4-H. The horse award is named after Niblett, who was an active 4-H’er—first as a member, then as an adult leader for most of her life. She served as chairper son of the delaware 4-H Horse Advisory Committee and also ran a successful horse farm in the Bear area of New Castle County. “After my mother passed away, many of the 4-H’ers with whom she had worked suggested that the horse award be re-named in her honor,” said Niblett’s daughter, Kay‘Betts. “She made a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of young people.” 4-H Speak Out Eleven Adams County 4-H members competed in the Capitol Region Speak-Out Night recently.
