The Oakridge Middle FFA Chapter was named SC Middle School State Champions in the FFA State Horse Evaluation Career Development Event (CDE).
Team members include Gracyn Fite, Gabriella Ortiz, Parker Brittain and Shivani Prakash.
The team competed at the SC Equine Park in Camden. More than 120 middle and high school FFA members were in attendance.
The Horse Evaluation CDE tests students' knowledge of equine science through a written identification test (equipment, breeds, anatomy), a team problem solving activity, and the evaluation and ranking of horses based on breed, conformation, and performance. Participants then must defend their rankings through oral reasons given before a panel of judges.
