The students shown in the photos above were selected by the judges to participate in a contest called "A World of Horses". There are 134 horses that were designed by school students from around the region. These students received an 8" wooden horse to create a design that would represent a country or state that would be participating in the upcoming World Equestrian Games. Their completed horses will be on display at selected venues from July through October where they can be seen by up to half a million viewers. There will be a closing ceremony for the exhibition for awards and recognition.
Each of these student's horses represented the following countries or states:
William Rawlings - Great Britain
Elizabeth Johnson- Spain
Anthony Gilvin- South Korea
Zack Conn- Finland
William Feeback - Colorado
George Norman - Turkey
Traci Tirey - New Zealand
Brooke Tyree- Scotland
Gwen Davidson - China
Taylor Mitchell- West Virginia
Brittany Perdue - Ireland
Shasta Howard - Germany
A World of Horses was an art contest for middle and high school students (6-12) sponsored by the Kidney Health Alliance of Kentucky that ran through the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG), September 25 through October 10, 2010. This contest had been a perfect opportunity for NCHS art students to showcase their talent during a world-class event!
