Youth Officers

Bella Beck - Youth President

Bella Beck
President

Hello, my name is Bella Beck, and I am serving as this year’s RMRHA youth president! I am 14 years old and live in Colorado Springs. I am the RMRHYA liaison for NRHYA and a delegate for RMQHYA. I have been riding since I was little but started reining 2 years ago. My horse’s name is Buddy, and he has taught me a lot. Buddy has not only taught me how to show, but he has taught me how to overcome challenges head-on.

My goal as this year’s RMRHA youth president is to bring the association’s youth closer together and to build our relationships with each other because, at the end of the day, we all have one thing in common, we love horses. I love to set examples for upcoming youth and help out association grow. Overall, I am very grateful for the opportunity to be your RMRHA youth president!

Hannah Schuck
Vice President

Hello, my name is Hannah Schuck, and I will be serving as your 2023 RMRHA Youth Vice President. I am 17 years old, and I live in Franktown, Colorado. I have been riding at Warren Performance Horses for six years, and through those six years, Mr. Devin Warren has shown me the importance of having a good character and to be thankful for the opportunities and the moments that I get to share with my horse. Mr. Warren has also encouraged me to understand that no goal or standard in riding is impossible if you have the will to work towards it. 

In my spare time, I help maintain the farm and enjoy time with my siblings. Previously, I also participated in 4-H horse projects. Everywhere I go, I love to help people in every way I can, and I have been blessed by fulfilling this position previously, in the spring of 2022. This position has shown me how to encourage and grow our youth riders as well as fulfill their dreams and goals. 

“For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the One who helps You.” – Isiah 41:13″
