At the gate
JOHN TAYLOR/North Country Rider
Waiting her turn in Friday’s 4-H senior trail competition at the Chelan County Fair, Cascade High School’s Kinna McMahon — one of seven Chelan local equestrians who’ve qualified for the Bi-County State Team that will compete at the state fair in Puyallup later this month — gathered herself and her horse before entering the arena. In addition to McMahon, senior-division riders heading to state this year are Alix Crilly, Hannah Symonds, Arieca Te Velde and Kelsey Loreth. Intermediates Megan Barnes and Morgan Cooke round out the team. “It’s kind of like the football team going to state,” says 4-H adviser Thera Judd of Wenatchee.
