Ag Progress Days

This is some of the team meambers from Ag Progress Days.

Thanks!

Thank you to the Team Horse Power members who took time to help out at the Ag Progress Days demo yesterday!  The drill team came together really well.  Also, the time you spent at the booth answering questions and making stick ponies is appreciated!

All THP members, please start thinking about ideas for clinics and demonstrations that we can do at the State show, in the Round Pen.  Any thoughts you have, please send along to Bethany or myself.  We are hoping that we can have as many of you do demonstrations as possible.  We will also be manning a booth at the Round Pen, so be prepared to put some time in there as well.

Thanks again for the help yesterday!

Schuylkill County - "On the Road to Horsemanship Skills"

Today, August 2nd, I helped at an On the Road to Horsemanship Skills clinic at the Schuylkill County Fairgrounds. We had four stations and some rest stops for the 4-Hers to participate in. My station was on how to walk into a stall, how to catch or release a horse, and how to tie safety knots. Many of the kids were already very knowledgeable on how to safely handle horses, but some learned more efficient and safer ways to do things with their horse. Everyone seemed to learn or refresh their memory on many horsemanship skills. It was a great day and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to assist with this wonderful learning experience for the Schuylkill County 4-H members.
