Twelve Logan County 4-H Equine members have earned the opportunity to represent the county at the 2025 Ohio State Fair, after strong performances at their required Performance Against Standards (PAS) qualifying shows in June.
The PAS program requires youth to meet or exceed strict scoring benchmarks in order to be eligible to compete at the state level.
Each participant may enter between two and four classes at the State Fair, where they will face some of the toughest competition from across Ohio.
These talented local riders will travel to Columbus for the Ohio State Fair Horse Show, scheduled for July 14–17, 2025.
Representing Logan County this year are:
Standing back (left to right):
Andy (horse), Adelia Grant, Sadie Staats, Olivia Green, Emily LeVan, Madeline Nessler, Elijah Baughman, Courtney Hart, and Pistol (horse)
Front row:
Lauren Van Winkle, Emmery Howell, Allison Robinson, and Alaina Baughman

Before they head to the State Fair, these youth will also compete locally during the Logan County Fair.
Events will take place throughout the week, feature competitive classes, and Friday will wrap up with a fun-filled “Fun Day” for exhibitors.
