Region 5 Youth - Officer Bios: 

Hannah Hiiva

Hannah Hiiva - Director

My name is Hannah Hiiva, I have been showing for 7 years and have been on the youth board for 4. I own a purebred Arabian named Zaiden and we show with N Joy Arabians. Outside of showing horses I love photography and am involved in FFA and ASB at my highschool. I look forward to another year on the youth board and want to continue to encourage youth to step out of their comfort zone and discover the wonders of the Arabian horse.

Chandler Brown- Treasurer

My name is Chandler Brown and I am 12 years old. I love Alabama Football and music. Queen is my favorite band along with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I have been showing Arabians and Half-Arabians since I was 4. I have a 17-year-old Arabian mare named Brigetta PE (Gigi) that I show Halter, Liberty, Performance Halter and WT Huntseat Pleasure & Equitation. We have been Region 16 Champions, Buckeye Champions, Region 14 Champions and have won multiple class a show Championships and Reserve Championships. My biggest dream is to work with Michael Byatt and show halter horses all over the world. While I was showing at Region 14 in 2019, I was blessed with the chance to be coached by Mr. Byatt and even got to lead his Champion colt out in the victory pass. It was AMAZING!
