Horse-n-Around 4H » Drill Team http://horse-n-around4h.com Shelby County, Kentucky 4H Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:40:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 4H cancelations and information http://horse-n-around4h.com/2008/12/02/4h-cancelations-and-information/ http://horse-n-around4h.com/2008/12/02/4h-cancelations-and-information/#comments Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:43:57 +0000 Christine McCarthy http://horse-n-around4h.com/2008/12/02/4h-cancelations-and-information/ Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  It has been brought to my attention we are meeting 4 times this week so to make things easier on everyone.  Tuesday’s Team meeting has been canceled.

Drill Team Members: Coach Jeff said we will go over the music next time we meet, and he will see you at the parade.

Horse Bowl Members: Your next meeting is Thursday December, 11. I will pick up at the high school let me know if you want me to pick up your child.  The meeting is 6:00-8:00, please bring a 1 inch binder to put your study materials in.

The link for the Junior and Senior Manual is
http://www.uky.edu/Ag/4hhorse/index_files/Page448.htm if you need a copy, we are not using the additional questions yet. Homework for Seniors is Breeds page 11-13, and the new material will be Anatomy page 2-10.  That’s what we will be working on at our next meeting.  For the Juniors Equipment Pages 7-11 and Anatomy Section the page numbers are off but it’s the first section in the Junior manual.

Horse Games:  Keep eating your eclairs and working on gathering equipment.

Reminder Thursday December 4 at 7:00 at the Extention office is the County 4-H banquet for last year’s members.  I encourage everyone who was a member last year to attend.  I do not know who is getting any of the awards, they are decided by the county.  The Matt Edwards Award, The I Dare You Award, and the Senior Award will all be presented.  Please wear your green T-shirts if you know where they are, I believe we are the largest club in the county.  They are asking each family to bring a desert (sorry I was wrong about that one.)  In addition if you want to participate in the Reading Reindeer program that counts for our participation in a community service project bring in a children’s book to donate.

Christmas Parade:  I currently have 6 adults riding: Jeff/Molly, Cyndi, Myself/Sugar Lady, Julie/Pat, Kim, Sherry.  I have kids riding: Jordan F/Sweets, Danielle/Redman, Addie/Angel, Lindsey, Logan, Trevor/Zoro, Brandon/Lightning, Amber/Gypsy, Jacob, Kelsey S, Rachel, Haley/Zip.

I still have not heard from the Aldridges, Perry’s, Cody, Candice or Olivia from the drill team, please let me know if you will be riding so we know if we have enough saddle pads.  You do not have to be on the drill team to participate, you just need to be a member of the Horse-N-Around club or an adult volunteer.  We also have the float for parents or siblings to ride on, unfortunately since we are entered as 4-H horse club no clover buds will be allowed to ride horses but they will be allowed to ride the float with a parent.  We are allowed to wear Santa Hats riders under 19 must have on helmets, although I encourage everyone to wear one because of the environment and the surface.  We will be riding back to the fairgrounds as a group and will have the float truck to block the riders on the ride back.  The float judging is at 8:20, Jeff asked for everyone to be there no later than 8:30 if you are riding to go over drill moves to be done on the parade route.  The parade starts at 10:00 AM we will be starting from the Fairgrounds.
The same night we are participating in the Bagdad parade with the float we will not be riding because it is after dark.  Everyone riding the float can meet at the Radcliff’s the parade starts at 7:00 PM.

Thanks,

Jessica

Team, Horse Bowl, and Mounted Games (a new team being started as a pilot program this year).    Attached is New York 4H rules for mounted games, they are the first 4H to adopt the mounted games.  Kentucky would like to be the second, these rules are just a starting point if our club decides to do this, we will be able to adjust the rules before we submit them to the
state.

We will also be discussing fund raising activities so if you have idea’s bring the information with you.

Also, I wanted to let you know I am not receiving all of my e-mail at my work address, because of the company’s mail filters.  So if you e-mail me at work please cc emtwoods@aol.com so I know you e-mailed me.  I am
automatically notified of my aol mail on my cell phone so it works for the weekends too.

First – is anyone going out of town for fall break we need to know if we can  schedule the banquet during fall break.

Second – for the drill team: Does anyone have a problem with next  Sunday  at 3:00 PM in Waddy? To make up for Friday’s missed practice as well as  we have no practice this Friday due to a lot you are attending the rodeo.

Third – for the Mt Eden show the drill team will be
wearing their red white and blue shirts, if anyone can borrow either Melissa’s  or Tavia’s shirt for Kayla to use, or if anyone has a small that’s a little  tight.  I have a woman’s medium but I think that will be too big for  Kayla.

Don’t forget if you are planning to attend the horse fair at the Rea’s this  Saturday, you need to call Metzger’s this week to reserve lunch.

Thanks,

Jessica Woods

Also, for the drill team we will not be preforming at the Reah’s on
September 6th, we are still invited to participate in the education
clinics being offered. The decision was mutual because Reah’s did
not think they could accommodate our trailers since they are not
sure how many care they will have. Also, we will be preforming that
night at the Promise Ridge Rodeo at 7:00 we will be preforming
first, it is a steep hill so if you don’t have four wheel drive you
might want to trailer with someone. If you can’t get up the hill
you can drop your trailer by the school bus and ride up. Remember
if you are there with the representing the drill team helmets,
helmets, helmets. If you are in another event after the drill team
then helmet use is at your parents discretion. However, before and
during we are representing 4H so you all know the routine.

Drill team practice starts at 7:00 PM sharp (saddled in the arena
ready to ride) at the Waddy arena. We may have some extra spots
once the schedule is worked out so everyone is welcome. Last years
preforming team will have 1st priority, alternates and injured list
next, then new members. The Mt Eden show will be the last
performance for the 2007-2008 team and a new team will be formed.

I heard some very sad news yesterday, most of us know Miss T has
been Kristen Newberry’s horse for years. Unfortunately, Miss T
recieved injuries after being caught up in a fence and after
everything that could be possibly tried was done it was determined
she would not be able to recover from her injuries and sadly the
decision had to be made to put her down. Our heart goes out to
Kristen and the Newberry’s.
