Un-beat-able.
One word, three syllables, a perfect description of Cow Town’s reigning horse gaming champions.
As the Island County Fair ended Sunday, Coupeville High School standouts Ally Roberts and Ashley Menges emerged, covered in ribbons and staggering under the weight of numerous trophies.
Next stop, the state fair in Puyallup Sept. 11-14, where both Wolves will claim a prestigious first stall.
The duo, who compete with the North Whidbey Blazin’ Saddles, were extra-impressive in Langley.
Roberts, who will be a junior at CHS, took a grand in gaming showmanship, bareback, English equitation, discipline rail, English and discipline rail western.
She also claimed overall high point for her age division and the #1 spot on her senior performance state team.
Menges, who is about to jump into her freshman year of high school, snatched up three grands, a reserve and four blues.
Then, to top it all off, she also earned a grand champion performance showmanship belt buckle, intermediate high point and the aforementioned first stall for state.
