The Bronc Busters 4-H Club would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our 2026 sponsors for the generous support of our club this year!

Because of donations from sponsors like you, we were able to provide every member with a personalized Bronc Busters jacket, purchase a new pop-up canopy tent for fair week, provide sawdust for all of our members’ stalls, and purchase year-end awards to recognize our members’ hard work and accomplishments.

Your generosity means so much to our club and our members. Your support helps make these opportunities possible and allows our kids to build confidence, responsibility, leadership skills, and lasting memories through 4-H.

Thank you for investing in our youth and helping make the Bronc Busters 4-H Club the special group that it is. We are truly grateful for your continued support!

With sincere appreciation,
The Bronc Busters 4-H Club

With only 8 days until Fair check-in, the Bronc Busters were hard at work this morning getting the horse barns and arena ready!

We power-washed stalls, picked up trash, pulled nails and staples from stall doors, and cleared rocks and debris from the warm-up arena. It was a busy morning, but we got a lot accomplished!

After all that hard work, we enjoyed some well-deserved pizza for lunch!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped! We appreciate your time, hard work, and dedication to making our fairgrounds a great place for everyone!

👑 2026 Huron County Horse Royalty Princess Contestant Spotlight 👑

Meet Makenzie Westfall! 💜🐴

Makenzie is a dedicated member of the Bronc Busters 4-H Club and recently celebrated her 10th birthday! She is a hardworking, compassionate young lady with a love for learning, helping others, and spending time with animals.

Makenzie enjoys staying active by playing softball and soccer, while also expressing her creativity through diamond art, painting, and coloring. She loves cooking for family and friends, playing the piano, and is proudly homeschooled through what her family affectionately calls the "Westfall Academy," where math is her favorite subject.

This year, Makenzie is looking forward to an exciting milestone—her first Huron County Fair with her horse, Bo! Last year, she rode Chico and competed alongside her cousin, Bishop, in the Junior Gymkhana Championship, where they earned Reserve Champion honors. She also proudly serves as the Health and Safety Officer for the Bronc Busters 4-H Club and is always willing to lend a helping hand wherever it's needed.

When she's not at the barn or the fairgrounds, Makenzie enjoys spending time with her horse, her dogs Butterscotch and Stella, and caring for her 60 chickens and goat. She also loves making memories with her sister, Peyton, and her brother, Maverick.

Please join us in wishing Makenzie the very best as she competes for the title of 2026 Huron County Horse Royalty Princess! We can't wait to see her shine throughout this year's competition! 💜👑🐎

Good luck Peyton!

👑 2026 Huron County Horse Royalty Princess Contestant Spotlight 👑

Meet Peyton Westfall! 🐴💙

At just 14 years old, Peyton has been passionate about horses for as long as she can remember. She entered her very first horse show at only 15 months old in the Pony Show at the Huron County Fair, and her love for the equine world has only grown stronger ever since.

Peyton has been a member of the Bronc Busters 4-H Club since her Cloverbud days and currently serves as the club's Recreation Officer. She is also a proud member of the Equine Differences YEDA Team, where she finished the season ranked 23rd in the nation in Junior High Emerald Pattern Horsemanship. In addition, Peyton is active in the Ignite Youth Group at Camden Baptist Church.

Homeschooled through the PATH program, Peyton also works part-time at Equine Differences Training & Boarding Facility, where she continues to expand her horsemanship knowledge and gain hands-on experience. She has dedicated herself to learning multiple riding disciplines, including showing, jumping, contesting, reining, ranch riding, western pleasure, and English equitation.

This show season, Peyton will compete with Blue in English and ranch events and Zippy in contesting events, with hopes of qualifying for the Ohio State Fair in contesting.

When she's not at the barn, Peyton enjoys playing the piano, reading, and drawing. As she prepares to enter ninth grade, she is already working toward her dream of becoming a professional horse trainer while pursuing a future in equine forensics.

Please join us in wishing Peyton the very best as she competes for the title of 2026 Huron County Horse Royalty Princess! We can't wait to see all she accomplishes throughout this exciting journey! 💙👑🐎
