Region 5 Youth: Junior Officer Bios
Kaitlyn Hill
Hi, my name is Kaitlyn Hill. I am 14 years old and have been showing for three years with N-Joy Arabians. I own a Half Arabian mare named Deluxe Accommodation (Luxey). I currently show in SHUS Hunter Type, SHIH Hunter Type, Dressage and Working Hunter. When I’m not at the barn, I like to hang out with my friends and ride my bike. I can’t wait to further my involvement in the Region 5 youth by joining the youth junior board.
Reagan Jenkins
Hi! I'm Reagan Jenkins and I'm so excited to be a junior youth board member this year! I'm a sport horse rider. I'm 15 and I live in Arlington. I'm at the barn almost every day riding my two purebred Arabian horses, Octagon HA (Ollie) and Dana Mankato (Ricky). I also love reading, playing with my dogs, and working out. I joined the junior youth board to make new friends and get more involved in Region V, so please say hi and I'd love to get to know you! I'm looking forward to a fun year!
Eleanor Le Bron
Hi my name is Eleanor Le Bron, I’ve been riding for 8 years and showing for 2! I currently show in working western and western equitation. I’m hoping to join back into the hunter seat classes soon! I lease and amazing purebred Arabian mare, My Majec Moment aka “Mo” through Silver Aspen Ranch. While I’m not riding and training horses I love to hang out with my friends and explore throughout the hairstyling industry! I am so excited to learn how to make an impact on not only the Arabian Horse Association, but incorporate my skills within my training career as a horse trainer.
Blakely Palmerton
Hi my name is Blakely Palmerton and I am eleven years old. I live in Vancouver, Washington and attend Alki Middle School (6th grade). I like to ride in trail (Western and English), gaming, reining, cow horse, ranch riding, western pleasure and hunt seat pleasure. This year I did a couple of Arabian shows in region four and five, and I got the chance to go to Arabian Youth Nationals in Oklahoma City for the first time. It was an amazing experience and I did well getting three top tens in the 10 and under age division. I also showed in 4H this year and made it to state where I placed third in junior horse judging. I am planning on going to Arabian US Nationals for horse judging for the first time this year also in October (I am so excited!). Outside of horses I love to hang out with my family, play soccer, volleyball, and I do track at school. I am excited to be part of the Youth Board this year, and I hope to make it a great year for all the region 5 youth!
