Subscriber only FEW four-year-olds can say they ve won a state-level rodeo event before they ve even started school, but that s exactly what Warwick boy Jack Maher has achieved. Competing for the first time in the Peewee U8s barrel race event at yesterday s Warwick New Year s Eve Rodeo, the youngster finished the course with a cracking score of 35.26. For proud mum Jess Maher, Jack s outstanding performance was a combination of natural ability, near-daily experience, and a pure love for horses. He s been on and off horses since he was a baby, and for the last 12 months we ve been doing as many of these mini barrel racing events as we can, Maher said.
