4H kids got to ride on the beach today with their project horses. Great day to ride on the beach. Kids did a great job cantering on the sand. Proud of these riders and all the hard work they put into their horses.

This week, the 4H members took advantage of the nice weather and went on a trail ride at Willamette Mission. All the lesson horses worked on building their muscles and endurance. Kids practiced long trotting and being prepared for the unexpected when on the trails. Can’t wait to organize another trail ride soon. Hoping we can get all the club member at the next one.

Beach day at the barn 🏖️ Since we got new arena footing, the 4H kids decided to sacked out the horses with umbrellas, a pop up tent, beach balls, towels, windbreakers and floaties. Getting ready for those Summer trail rides. Worked on two gaming patterns then ended the ride with a short trail ride around the neighborhood. Trying to get the horses in shape this Spring. Is it Summer yet? ☀️

Get Up & Gallop galloped into Spring with a horse show at the Yamhill county fairgrounds and it was a busy one! One member showed her horse for the very first time and we were all cheering her on. English classes were a whirlwind affair, with two members making their English debut and totally rocking it. Showmanship classes were sardine-packed, with over 10 participants in each age division fighting for attention. Horses were on point and everyone was stoked for the Western classes. Parents were the real rockstars, keeping track of the kids and offering non-stop encouragement. What an amazing team we have this year, everyone gained valuable experience and walked away happy with their project horse.
