Yep, its true Hay Stack Stables is starting their own 4-H horse club. Starting in 2006 kids that become a member of our club with have many great learning opportunities. And the best part, all you people that know the leader already know that having fun is her #1 goal, so you are guaranted a fun, safe learning experience with us.
Okay concerned parents this picture is a very old photo that is not mine I make kids and most adults wear helmets here.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to herd cows on a horse? Or how about what happens when a vet comes to the stable? Do you know what it takes to take care of a horse? As well as learning A LOT about horses the 4-H will branch off so kids will get a chance to learn about other topics. Got a topic you want to learn about or what to teach kids about? Let us know. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
What kind of events?
Camps, Gymkhanas, Meetings, Fun Days, Clinics, Demonstrations (Roping, different styles of riding), field trips (different farms)
Horse Stuff
- Health Care (deworming, vaccinations, west nile, etc)
- First Aid for a Horse (Cuts, Colic, Lameness, etc)
- Various Feeds (Grains, Hays, etc)

There is a good chance that we will have special presentations during this club, from vets, farriers, Cooks, and much more. Is there a topic on the list or a topic that you would like to do a presentation for? You dont have to be a pro at it, email or call us and let us know.
What do we need to get started?
I need a few volunteers for these postions. (It will not be too many hours I will be doing most of the work)because it is a kids club kids will have a chance to do some of the job adults have. For example a Junior and Senior Director

Junior Director (Someone 15 or younger. Your job, if kids have a problem and dont want to talk to adults they talk to you and you bring the problem to me.)
Ways and Means (run a kitchen when we hold events or at least make sure we have all the supplies to run it)

Fundraising Director Junior and Senior (In charge of thinking up ways to raise money for our club)
We also need volunteers for timers (during gymkhanas), recorders, Safety people (keep an eye on the kids, make sure they are not lifting eachother onto the horses or brushing horses with hoof picks). If you would like to be added to other list of volunteers call or email us.

Okay here it is straight up. I wanted to start a youth club. One where little kids can come out and ride in our gymkhanas and feel comfortable knowing if something goes wrong in the ring and they need help they can ask for help. I want a club where kids can learn and have fun at the same time, where kids look forward to coming out. Hay Stack Stables is all about personal development, making friends and HAVING FUN!
