Bertie Teen is an Equestrian Hit

By Cal Bryant - 3/19/2005 - Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald

LEWISTON-WOODVILLE - At 14 years of age, most would not consider Austin Trent as a "veteran" at anything.

They better think again.

Austin, the daughter of John and Beverly Trent of Lewiston-Woodville, is not only a veteran when it comes to competing in horse shows throughout the United States, she's also pretty good at it as well.

Nearly 10 years after her maiden ride aboard a pony, Austin is stepping up to the big leagues - horses, or in her case, the large junior hunter division.

With this article we are launching a new effort to promote local newspapers on the web. The only Newspaper in the area that is actively participating in the future of news is the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald. They are doing this by putting many of their articles on the Internet. This should be admired. We will therefore be highlighting any article in the News-Herald that promotes the area. I hereby express my appreciation to the News-Herald for their advanced thinking, and commend them.

I also encourage you to check out the News-Hearld web site. They have some great links to such features as on-line yellow pages, stock quotes, and other serivices that you normally might have to pay for.
