Let the ribbons rain down.

It’s a new year, but the same great results for Gabriella Gebhard and her main pooch.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to dominate the world of American Kennel Club dog showing, working with her English Setter Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making).

Beating a field of 72 juniors at one event, Gebhard claimed Reserve Best, then followed that up by claiming the largest ribbon of the event by winning the Best of the Best competition.

Traveling from city to city, and state to state, the duo added to their wins with a particularly strong showing at an event in Portland.

In her time in the dog showing world, Gebhard has been on a roll, qualifying for and competing at the Royal Canin AKC nationals and the vaunted Westminster Dog Show.

“Why yes, I am a good doggo.”

Winnin’ ribbons and takin’ names.

Now it’s time to do the Puyallup, again.

Coupeville High School athletes Ally Roberts and Ashley Menges didn’t horse around last weekend, sweeping through numerous riding events at the Island County Fair.

Roberts (and her faithful steed) captured Senior Performance High Point, while also winning titles in Performance Showmanship, Trail (where she netted a perfect score), Discipline Rail, and Gaming Showmanship.

She was also a Reserve Champion in Stock Seat Equitation.

Menges notched reserve status in Stock Seat Equation and Trail, while also collecting a string of blue ribbons in her other classes.

Roberts punched her ticket to the state fair (which runs Sept. 2-25 this year), while Menges is a second alternate.

It’s been a busy summer for the duo, who have been juggling riding with volleyball as they prepare for the kickoff of a new spiker season at CHS.

Menges is a sophomore, while Roberts is a senior, and both are expected to help anchor the Wolf varsity.
