Siblings Cara Martin, 12, and Larry Zieammerman, 6, received several ribbons at the Heartland Miniature Horse Classic held April 28 and 29 at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita.

In his first time to show horse CMH Robert ?Bob? H. Sox, Zieammerman received four third-place ribbons, a fourth-place ribbon and a second-place rosette ribbon in the 7-and-under category in showmanship, PeeWee Hatter Gelding and costume divisions. He also assisted his sister in the liberty (music and rhythm) class.

In her second year at the Classic, Martin showed two horses, her own CMH Robert ?Bob? H. Sox and CMH Cajun Commander, owned by Larry and Deana Olson of Cottonwood Miniature Horses.

She received three first-place rosette ribbons, 19 second-place rosette ribbons and many third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-place ribbons, showing in the youth and open classes in showmanship, halter, obstacles, costume, liberty and commander-in-driving classes that included country-pleasure driving, driving obstacles and versatility.

They are the children of Melissa and Matt Zieammerman of rural Marion.
