Cowboy S never passes a dare....Think he's a bit big for the pony?!
Our next meeting we will be covering trail riding and trail safety as our first outing we have planned is a ride to move some cattle across the Chickaskia River in May!! I am SO excited for this! I think it will be an absolute BLAST for the kiddo's!!
This was HILARIOUS!! We sent the girls to load up one of Cowboy S's horses and next thing we know it's taking all 4 of them to close the door LOL!! Best part is they already had the divider closed so PJ wasn't getting out!
ahhh 4-H the memories! I LOVED 4-H... As a matter fact I just found my "sewing project" when I was going through some of my mom's stuff.
ReplyDeleteI made a stable blanket for the horse I had then. Red flannel on the inside and denim on the out.
Good for you! 4-H can be so rewarding, and if you have good help you'll do just fine. Lots of good 4-H years in this family!!!!!! So great for kids.
ReplyDeleteWe have a 4H meeting tonight, the horse meetings don't start until May because of school stuff. Our highschool is big into sports so they stay busy with that. But I am REALLY looking forward to starting that, it looks like y'all had a bunch of fun! Thanks for the comments on my blog too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the kids.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the boys were in 4-H. It is good for them and we all enjoyed it.
Good luck to all.
How fun! The adults riding the pony cracked me up! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have wonderful memories of being in 4-H. I was involved for probably 7 years. Our meetings weren't always consistent but it was always a blast to show at the Fair. We actually had one of the best 4-H teams in the area!! Very competitive.
ReplyDeleteLooks like all the kids had so much fun!! They will make memories to last a lifetime!
What a fun night and all showed up! Wonderful! How often do you meet --- we used to meet weekly in the summer...
ReplyDeleteGUACG~ We will be meeting monthly for now, and of course if needed we will meet a couple more times in the summer before the fair!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a good, idea, we should have it in England, too, although I suppose we have the Pony Club, which does the same thing, but yours sounds more exciting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! You're brave to take it on, too. Are all the kids experienced with horses? The cattle drive across the river seems pretty adventurous for a first outing for kids that might not have any riding experience. gah!
ReplyDeleteI have riding experience, but I think I'd be a little cautious about an outing like that myself. lol!
From learning how to groom a horse and then driving cattle across a river next. Wow. You 4-Hers are brave!
Great pics

Lisa~ LOL good question, I guess I should have mentioned that! Most of these kids have grown up with horses. There is really only 1 girl who isn't a "seasoned" rider and I don't know that she is even going... We did grooming as our first meeting just because we weren't sure if we would end up with any "horseless" riders so we wanted to see everyone's basic knowledge!
