umm, as a former 4-H-er from back when rocks were soft ... it MIGHT
be possible that the green horse barding was judged higher for
reasons such as:
MAYBE the young lady in pink did her own machine sewing? MAYBE the
two-part green body draping was more complicated? MAYBE the
full-head fabric covering was a more complicated piece? MAYBE the
respective horse's behavior, relative to the situation, was a factor?
(maybe pink dress's horse put up well with a LOT more weirdness???)
The "Knight's" outfit is pretty spectacular, though, 8-)

I agree with Nancy; you were robbed! You gals did a great job.
Tell your daughter she gets my vote, hands down!
Happy sewing,

the only costume sewing I've done this year is for my daughter's 4H costume.

She fit the costume and made the armor and accessories and cut out all the
silver fabric applique. I had to iron it on because she melted the first
one, and I sewed the seams just to save needles and/or a trip to the repair
shop. (she's a rather careless seamstress)
Sadly (for us), the girl behind her won the class
