COLDWATER, MI — One of the most active location on the Branch County Fairgrounds during fair week is the horse arena along Sprague Street, with events and competition daily.
Dozens of girls with fewer boys fill the 96 stalls in the two barns with horses and ponies.
For nearly 40 years, Julie Gibson brought members of the Ghost Riders 4-H club to compete and collect ribbons with their four-legged friends.
The current 28 members of the club are there showing, but also grooming, feeding, and cleaning out the stalls.
