Scoot Augsburger and Huntin For Candy Win GOMM Easter Egg Trail Hunt

On Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at Georgia On My Mind, everyone’s minds were on Easter Eggs as exhibitors competed in The Peter Cotton ‘Trail’ Eggstravaganza – Easter Egg Trail Hunt!
They were all set for a hopping good time with a Man of Trail pattern with ten obstacles, involving special maneuvers like taking an Easter Bunny through the gate, and dismounting at the end to hop into the box, turn a 360, hide Easter Eggs, and hop out of the box!
Their basket and attire were judged, entry was free, and all ages were welcomed.
When all the eggs had been hidden and everyone finished the Eggstravaganza, Cheyenne “Scoot” Augsburger and Huntin For Candy won the class!
“The last obstacle was fun, being able to drop the eggs in the box,” says Scoot. “I liked that most of the horses just stood there while the riders got off and hopped in the box!”
Scoot also explains the class is definitely something to keep doing at the show, since it was so much fun to get ready for and to participate in.
If you look closely at her winning attire and Easter basket, you’ll notice the basket is actually a Highland cow!
Scoot says she picked it because she has a mini Highland cow at home as a pet, and his name is Sampson! We had to share Sampson’s photo, since his inspiration was a factor, too!
Congratulations also to the following winners:
Amateur Champion
Cowboy Kruzer
Melissa Chasteen
13 & Under Champion

Congratulations to Cheyenne, Skamper, the Augsburger Family, Sampson, Melissa, London, and thank you to GOMM staff and management for the added Easter fun!
