Happy New Year!

 

No, we're not confused--it's a new 4-H year. Time to complete new enrollment forms and choose which projects to enter for the 2009-2010 year. Time to encourage your friends to sign up so they can join us in the fun.

 

Check out the Project Enrollment page for more information, and the new Forms page (coming soon) to keep track of the various forms required throughout the year.

"What Horses Make Me Not Do:"

"I'm bored" isn't said around our house.  I don't take anti-depressants.  I don't sit on the couch feeling sorry for myself.  I don't take pills for my nerves.  Nothing gives me more satisfaction than drinking coffee in the morning while watching my horses eat their hay.  I don't have to go to a gym to work out.

 

Point of story: My horses are my entertainment, physical trainers, and therapists.  They give me a sense of self, a sense of worth, and a reason to wear big, gaudy turquoise jewelry.  They keep me well-rounded, open-minded, goal-oriented, and pinching pennies.  They leave me feeling satisfied and rewarded.  They teach me how to budget money and time, and that--just like riding--when you throw your weight around, things are bound to get unbalanced."
