Candy Munz is a 21 yr old student from Oxford, Florida. She has been involved with the Mid Florida Buckskin Association and has had IBHA registered horses for 20 years....literally her whole life! She is a vivacious, out-going person who has a passion for buckskin horses. She attends the University of Florida where her favorite subject is Journalism. When she is not showing horses Candy also enjoys photography, attending Florida Gator sporting events and spending time with her family.

FROM 2010 MISS BUCKSKIN WORLD Hello everyone!! Wow, what a year. I cannot believe my reign as queen has already come to an end. I would first like to thank the Iowa Buckskin Horse Association for their endless support and allowing me the opportunity to represent them for two consecutive years. Without them I would never have been give the chance to run for Miss Buckskin World. With that said I would like to extend my thanks to IBHA as an entire organization. This club is filled with amazing people whom I am honored to have gotten the chance to represent as Miss Buckskin World. As I pass down the crown I have high goals for myself regarding education. I recently completed my two year degree at Kirkwood Community College. I plan to attend the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) in the fall and major in Speech and Language Pathology. Ultimately my long term goal is to work with autistic children. And, of course, in my spare time I’ll always be making time to show my best friend, Max! As this week begins my advice to competing queens is simple: take full advantage of this chance to get to know the members of this organization. The stories I’ve heard and the people I’ve gotten to know through this experience are priceless. I’ve more than enjoyed my year as Queen and have many memories, laughs, and friendships to last a lifetime. With that said I wish all the beautiful ladies the best of luck this week! As well as good luck to all competitors and most importantly safe travels to everyone!

Your Queen,

Kim Maxwell
