Jesus Santana, from Macy, Indiana, has developed a strong passion for working with horses, from handling them to evaluating them in contests. He has experience maintaining, feeding, and ensuring the well-being of horses during his time in Mexico. After returning to the United States, he discovered FFA, where he has demonstrated dedication and success in every competition he has participated in, including Horse Judging. Through these experiences, he has gained valuable industry knowledge and a strong work ethic.

A retired member of the North Miami FFA chapter and a current State FFA Officer for Indiana, Jesus continues to grow and serve through his past role as a chapter officer and his current position as a state officer. These experiences have allowed him to build meaningful and lasting connections within his community. He looks forward to growing and expanding his experience in the equine industry while continuing to build skills for his future endeavors.

We are counting down the days until Jesus and his teammates arrive in Miami. We know that Jesus will lead his team by setting an example of what a hard working, dedicated and tenacious team member looks like. Jesus is a kind, welcoming soul who will share his heart with his team.

We are welcoming another Buckeye…

Lexi Wills is from Richwood, Ohio, and has developed a strong passion for the equine industry through years of hands-on experience and competition. She has shown horses with the Ohio Quarter Horse Association and the American Quarter Horse Association, competing in both all-around events and reining. Her dedication to excellence is highlighted by her success in horse judging through FFA and independently theough the Ohio Quarter Horse Association. Through these opportunities, she has built a strong foundation of industry knowledge, work ethic, and attention to detail.

An active member of the North Union FFA Chapter, Lexi continues to grow as a leader while representing her school and community. She has also gained valuable skills from working on her own horse farm. She looks forward to continuing to expand her knowledge and contribute to the equine industry while building on the experiences that have shaped her passion and drive.

We are thrilled to welcome Lexi to Miami next fall. She will bring passion, experience and patience to a team who will add light to an already shining department. NEO is the best place for future professional horsewomen like Lexi.

NEO Horse Judging had a great time in Indiana a few weeks ago, where team members had the opportunity to teach at an outstanding clinic!

A huge thank you to Tom Younts, Tim McLochlin, and Hamilton Southeastern schools for the invitation and for hosting such a high-quality event. We truly appreciate the opportunity to share our knowledge and be part of such a valuable learning experience.

We are also proud of our NEO Horse Judgers Bryleigh Colbert, Hannah Mennig, and Keeley Brooks, who did an outstanding job representing our program and contributing throughout the clinic.
