Carrie Miller, an 18-year-old horse enthusiast from Mount Crawford, has been awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the Arabian Horse Foundation for her essay detailing her experiences in horse judging and community service. Growing up surrounded by Arabian horses, thanks to her mother and grandmother, Carrie has developed a deep passion for equestrian activities. This scholarship will support her sophomore year at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, where she is pursuing a degree in animal science and agricultural business.

Carrie’s involvement in 4-H and the National Future Farmers of America Organization has further enriched her equine experience. She has participated in various competitions, including the District and State 4-H shows, showcasing her skills with her mother’s horse. Her achievements in horse judging have also led her to compete nationally, where she has gained valuable lessons in patience and consistency.

Her mother, Yvonne Miller, expresses immense pride in Carrie’s accomplishments and growth in the equestrian field. Yvonne believes that the skills Carrie has developed will serve her well in life, and she looks forward to seeing her daughter continue to pursue her dreams in animal science while maintaining her passion for riding.
