Parents: Chuck Allen and Jodi Gilbert

4-H projects, activities and awards: Horse and pony (awards, belt buckle and other small prizes); fifth place at Indiana State Fair in reining; and ribbons in western pleasure, halter, trail, reining, costume class and bareback class.

Other youth activities: At Frankton Jr/Sr. High School, I’m a member of the choir (and have been since seventh grade). This year, I was also cheerleader for the basketball team.

Hobbies: Riding horses, camping, riding my four-wheeler; hanging out with friends; and skating.

Future plans: I might either become a veterinarian, because I like animals, or try to become a model (my cousin was a model for Calvin Klein and I would like to be a model.)
