A&M team horses around
BY LAURA LARSON
The five-member Texas A&M
Horse Judging Team placed first
in the performance division of the
All-American Quarter Horse Con
gress judging contest Monday in
Columbus, Ohio. The team rank
ed sixth out of 27 intercollegiate
teams in the overall contest.
Tim Potter, a junior animal sci
ence major from College Station,
was the top individual winner in
the performance division.
Each team member was re
quired to judge six halter and four
performance classes, then defend
their placings on five of the classes
overall.
Each class consisted of four
horses which the students ranked
from most to least desirable. In
halter classes, each horse was pre
sented by moving the animals
with a lead rope. Working ability
under a saddle was demonstrated
in performance classes. Team
members explained their rankings
of a specific class under a two-
minute time limit in the defense
competition.
“The performance division of
the contest was exceptional, ” Dr.
Gary Potter, the team coach, said.
“Our students had an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate their
ability.
“I have had students who were
afraid to talk to me before their
judging team work. I believe that
teaching students to back their de
cisions with oral reasons has signi
ficant impact on their self—confi
dence.”
Team members Potter, Scott
Bagley, Jane Brueggestrass,
David Holsford and Molly
Petersen — all animal science ma
jors. They will also enter the In
ternational Arabian Judging Con
test in Albuquerque, N.M., Fri
day. The same format will be used
for that competition.
Potter, Bagley, Holsford,
Petersen and six other Aggies will
represent Texas A&M in the judg
ing contest at the World Cham
pionship Quarter Horse Show in
Oklahoma City, Nov. 20. Brueg
gestrass competed last year and
therefore is ineligible this year.
To become a member of the
horse judging team, students
must enroll in animal science 316
in the spring and attend judging
practices the following fall.

The screening is done to make
sure that it is safe for the children
to go to the volunteer’s door,
Stribbling said.
At school, the teachers stress
that a house marked by the help
ing hands is a safe place. The chil
dren are encouraged to go the
house if they are sick, lost, chased
by a dog or followed by a stranger.
If they can scream or run, they
can get to someone for help, be
cause people throughout the
neighborhood are participating in
the program, Haislet said.
In Victoria, where the Helping
Hands program is used at all pub
lic schools, a kidnapping hasn’t
occured in three years. Bobbie
Guinn, president of the Victoria
Safety Council, said that before
the program began, a kidnapping
occured about once a year.
The program also has served as
a crime preventive measure, she
said. “The hands in the window
band neighborhoods together and
act as a deterrent to crime,” she
said. “It makes people aware of
each other.”
