NC 4-H Horse Program
2004 Activities |
||
 The Silver Spurs 4-H Horse Club put on their first Horse Show April 27th, 2003 at the Person County Saddle Club. Youth participate in shows such as this one for the fun of it and to gain important experience. Shows are held to give the youth an opportunity to participate in a show and evaluate the progress they have made. There were a total of 53 classes, with Person County 4-H youth participating in several of those classes. The horse show was sanctioned by the Triangle Wide Horsemen's Association, which resulted in people from several surrounding counties driving up to Person County to take part in the show.The money from our sponsors went towards purchasing ribbons and trophies for the show. Some sponsors even donated prizes that were raffled off to raise money for the Silver Spurs 4-H Horse Club. Some Person County 4-H'ers were lucky enough to walk away with a few ribbons. We would like to congratulate Julia Foushee, who went home with a trophy for Youth High Point Champion. Congratulations to all of our participants and thanks to everyone who helped make this Horse Show such a success. Due to scheduling conflicts, the club is planning on having their horse show in the fall of 2004. The Silver Spurs 4-H Horse Club competed in several different contests throughout the year. In 2004, the Silver Spurs 4-H Club has competed in the Horse Bowl, Hippology and Horse Judging contests at the district and state level, as well as the Creative & Expressive Arts contests. The Horse Judging Team studied very hard to get ready for competition on April 17th in Raleigh. They spent lots of time in classroom sessions as well as field trips to prepare. Participants representing our club were Jessica Perkins, Ashleigh Perkins, Julia Foushee, Mary Lynn Burton, Caitlyn Boycher, and Ian Leisy. The Junior team placed 6th overall. Julia Foushee was ranked 8th individual overall in the junior level. Great job!! | ||
