Noah Kenneth Newman of Streetsboro, OH has been named the recipient of the 2020 Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Terry Holton Youth Award.
Newman, a sophomore at Streetsboro High School, has taken advantage of his opportunity to work with his family’s horses in 2020. When Covid-19 shut down schools and high school athletics, Newman began helping at the barn.
“He would wake up at 5:30 and begin work at the barn,” said his grandmother Melinda Bailey. “His dad thought he would waver, but during the year he only became more determined.”
Newman has been jogging horses since he was ten and he is enjoying the experience of working with his dad and grandfather. “I enjoy being out of the house and working with the horses,” said Newman. “I like training horses and getting more experience.”
