the trucks are all fully fueled and
loaded. This is not anything new
to Tyler, who is the son of retired
fire chief. Growing up around thefirefighting scene inspired Tyler
to become a firefighter.He stat-ed, My dad retired as the fire
chief of the department in Hills-
dale, Michigan. He taught and
trained many of the great fire-
fighters in Michigan.Growing up Ispent a lot of time at the depart-
ment and was inspired by my dad
and other firefighters at this de-
partment. Even though Tyler has
grown up around firefighting, he
knows he will never stop learningand he plans on going to camp this
summer for more training.One ofthe best things Tyler enjoys
aboutbeing a firefighter is thathe gets to serve his community,
and he enjoys the
Student AchievementTyler WarfieldNovember 2013
Tyler Warfield is a volunteer fire-
fighter who views firefighting more
than just a job. Its a call to
serve, he said. Tyler understandsbeing a firefighter is more than
just putting out fires, but helping
the community in many ways. He
said, Everyday a fireman goes to
work not knowing whether or not
they will be safe or not. We work
around the station until a call
comes in. Most of the time we an-
swer fire alarm calls, vehicle acci-
dents, medical emergencies, but in
our community there have been few
fires. One thing isfor sure, if anactual fire call does come in we
have allthe equipment check and

young firefighters just starting out, Tyler gives five tips: follow your
dream, work hard to make your dream come true, learn how to use the
equipment properly, obey the rules, and be ready and alert at all times.Thanks Tyler for serving your community!

the opportunity to display her rid-
ing skills to many people, not just
her trainer. As far as the cons of
showing are concerned, Liz saysYou never truly know what to ex-
pect. Your horse could be having
a bad day or the weather might
not be cooperating. She also la-
ments that she never knows how
many people she will be competing
against. Through her experiences,Liz has benefitted in many ways.
Showing has helped me see the
importance of teamwork and
bonding that you and your horse
have to share. There is muchwork involved in preparing to com-pete in a horse show. Liz notes
that participants spend more time
prepping for the show then they
do actually competing, because
there are so many things they
have to do before they leave.
Student AchievementElizabeth KobeNovember 2013
Elizabeth Kobehas loved horses
for as long as she can remember,
and recently she began to compete
in shows. She started working ather local barn in May where she
gets the opportunity to feed,
groom, and help train the horses
that are stabled there. Liz says,
It has been an amazing learning
experience since I am looking to
purchase a horse of my own. Nearthe end of summer her trainer
asked if she would be interested in
participating in shows, and at that
time she began training for compe-
tition. Liz feels that one of the
benefits of being in horse shows is
that it gives the participant a great
experience that one cannot get
from anything else. She emphasiz-es thatshowing horses gives her

is really fun because I get to help
other kids get better and achieve
their goals. Some of the things
that she teaches are posture, bal-ance, trot work, cantering, and
how to lead and compromise in or-
der to get the horse to respond
favorably to prompts. Liz states,
Working together with the horse
is the most important part. You
have to understand how your
horse works, and what it responds
well to and what it doesnt re-
spond well to. In order to gauge
the progress she is making as a
rider and as a co-worker with the
horse, Liz has photos and videostaken of her riding. This allowsher to see and critique her per-
formances. I enjoy correcting
myself so I can get better and
know what I have to work on. Liz
has a passion for caring for
Student AchievementElizabeth KobeNovember 2013
The night before the show you
have to make sure all the horses
are groomed and looking their best,
which is my favorite part. Thenyou have to pack your tack and your
show outfit which all have to be
cleaned and stored, and you have to
pack your trailer with anything you
could possibly need like horse
treats, hay bales, water buckets,
and grooming supplies. Finally, Lizmust get the horses loaded into
the trailer for the two hour drive
to an upstate area show.
As a result of her experiences, Liz
has had opportunities to reach out
to other horse show enthusiasts.I get the chance to teach every-
thing my trainer has taught me, by
giving lessons to other kids, which

getting started Liz advises, Be
prepared to build a relationship
with an amazing animal, work
harder than you ever have before,never give up and never back
down, dont let anything stop you,
get in your way, or slow you down
from achieving your goals, and
just fall in love with riding. Let
your mind go blank of anything
youre thinking about, and just fo-
cus on yourself and your horse.

horses in addition to showing them.
She says, I enjoy working with
horses more than showing them.
Showing is great, but just beingaround them is even better. Ather barn she enjoys feeding, brush-
ing, bathing, and bonding with the
horses. You will grow attached to
them and they will learn to trust
you, and once they trust you, you
will have an unbreakable bond.One thing Liz would like to have
done differently is to have experi-
enced a horse show as a spectator
before entering her first one. She
reflects, For my first show, I
went in blind. I had never seen a
horse show, and I did not know at
all how they worked I just went in
and tried my best. For aspiringhorse show enthusiasts just
