Luke finally has enough weight on him to try and ride him. The boys rode him ba****ck in a controlled environment. He definitely has more whoa than go, and we need a much bigger head stall to fit him.

It’s been an honor and a privilege to coach kids in our 4H county programs in both horses and archery. As the county takes a new approach to their program, and I wish the new leaders and our agents all the best. To the leaders I have served with the last 4 years, I have learned so much from y’all not just about 4H but in life as well, and to the kids and families I have met and helped coach, it’s been a blessing to get to know y’all. Thank you parents for trusting me with your kids over the years. Good luck 🍀 and God Bless Van Zandt County 4-H

IF HORSES WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL

Quarter horses: Definitely jocks. Strutting around flexing those muscles and showing off their butts. Responsible for all the trophies in the glass case.

Paints: Quarter horses with too much make-up.

Thoroughbreds: Preppies. They are athletes never jocks, monogrammed blankets, leather halters, Nike eventer shoes and the latest custom trailer and tack.

Appaloosas: Stoners. the like to drop acid so they can watch their spots move.

Arabians: RAH! RAH! SIS MOOM BAH! GGGOOOOOOOO TEAM!( Need I say more?)

Shetland ponies: Punks. Spikey hairdos, snotty attitudes and any colour of the rainbow.

Friesians: Bikers. Big, buff, always black, cigs hanging out the corner of their mouths and a dangerous glint in their eye.

Morgans: Nerdy teachers pet running around doing everything from yearbook to decorating the gym and rattling the bikers, stoners and jocks.

Drafts (All breeds): No real clique they're just the big guys who sit in the back of the room and fart a lot.

Hackney ponies: Band geeks. Marching along with their heads and knees held high, even going to the bathroom.

Warmbloods: The school staff and faculty. Looking down their noses with righteous indignation and disgust.

Minis: Primary school students.

Donkeys: Would be the teachers with the ability 'to think' and remember what happened the day before. Less likely to step on your feet when dancing.

Saddlebreds: The ones riddled the teen angst, the artsy, drama club type?

Percheron: Cafeteria ladies.

Mustangs: The free spirits and the "rebels without a cause".

The PTA would be aged broodmares only.

Football team: Well the Budweiser Clydesdale's of course!!!!

I will not fight with a horse, you can sedate your own or it needs to stand. I can work with a first time clip but I will not box with one.
