Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.2632 - Chris PausLOL., I'm getting a big kick out of my grandson's 4H club. He just joined this year. He really stands out like a sore thumb on his gray Arab gelding against the paints and sorrel and bay QHs!
but so far, they've done a really good job. Zab is such a good ambassador for the Arabian breed. He doesn't have great confomration. In fact, I joke that he looks like he was put together by committee (he is Babson bred.. desert lines for those who care).
But his heart is as big as the great outdoors. He takes fabulous care of my grandson. He is a lesson horse, a parade horse, a show horse, and an endurance and CTR horse and all around good guy.
My grandson has done a lot of riding on trails with me and lots of ring work, but this is his first year of showing in riding classes. He has looked very good out there and has good riding habits instilled in him that I see him use in the arena.
I'm pleased to say that this particular 4H group has mostly kids with backyard hroses. Very few high dollar animals. And the club is very proactive in education for the kids. They've had me give two presentations on distance riding and want me to put on a CTR clinic this summer for the kids, with ride meeting, camp out, trail ride, vet checks and all! I'm thrilled that they are interested to learn!
