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.
The proven Great Plains no-till system utilizes a
coulter to prepare a mini-conventional seedbed
for the openers to place the seed ...at the precise
depth selected.

“I was really surprised and hap
py to win the Niblett Award,” she
said. “I knew Mrs. Niblett. 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.”
