Justine Moore had the perfect intention of competing at the 2011 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show until she was sidelined from the event by her horse's injury.

Determined to make her way to Oklahoma City for the Ford Youth World, Justine has been spectating, cheering on her Oregon state teammates and helping The American Quarter Horse Journal with our Journal on the Road coverage.

Justine takes a look at her first world show experience thus far and reflects on the versatility of the American Quarter Horse, which is evident at the Ford Youth World, in her Journal on the Road blog at americashorsedaily.com. Check it out to see the Ford Youth World through Justine's eyes.
