(Don't forget to Vote)
Your nimble fingered webmaster did a major faux-paus and posted the wrong flyer again..... Here is the
correct one. I apologize to my faithful and true party committee chairs Deb and Lucy for the extra phone calls this
posed and beg for forgiveness... Thank you so much for putting the party together for us...
Year End Party Flyer Updated
EQUINE MASSAGE AND SADDLE FITTING @
WOOD HAVEN Presenters are: Rene Noriega and Amanda Yanez (Licensed and Insured Equine Body Workers) SATURDAY, March 27, 2010 (9:30am-11:30am ) Fee $10.00 “All money to be
donated to the Pima County 4-H Horse Project” ·
Equine massage has
a very strong healing influence on horses of all ages and conditions. ·
It is widely used
to prevent and relieve stress as well as assist in the recovery from illness and injuries. ·
Massage techniques
can safely affect the whole body by helping to regulate the circulatory, muscular and nervous systems. · Massage can also relax your animal when excitable, and add strength and flexibility. · It can also aid in the release of toxins and increase oxygenation for a better
metabolism, leading to enhanced performance and shorter recuperation time. ·
Additional benefits
include; increased range of motion, improved stamina, enhanced performance as well as gait quality and reduced tactile defense.
·
A saddle that fits
your horse well, will promote performance without discomfort, and allow full potential. Comfort for the
horse is the result of a correctly fitted and balanced saddle. In turn, will distribute the weight evenly
over the weight-bearing surface of the saddle and onto the back without afflicting the various muscle groups and fascia of
the back.

internet visitors with reliable and up-to-date horse information through a knowledge base of commonly asked questions that

DIC Entertainment asks 4-H to spread the word about its educational cartoon, Horseland, throughout the
4 H community. Horseland is a show about kids and their horses experiencing adventures with themes of friendship,
teamwork, acceptance, and compassion similar to the leadership, citizenship and life skills youth learn through their participation
in 4-H.
Leaders: This is an optional project for your members. This
most likelywill be required to participate in State 4-H Events in the Future. Horse Keeping Records Books
These books are kept on project animal (s). These books can be obtained from:
CalSmart 318-7275 College
Ag. Life Science
4101 N. Campbell Ave.
Tucson, AZ 85719
These will be available for free from the Extension Center in the future.
Some
clubs have asked if they can use their own books and that is okay too. The following are some things that need to be included: Member
Name-Club Name-Leader Name-Horses Name-Markings and Color of Horse (Identification should be thorough and accurate)-General
Information about your horse (how long you owned, who cares for, who rides and skills you hope to accuire on your horse.)-Feeding
Record-Expenses-Shoeing Record-Show Record-Any Pictures member would like to include.
This is what One Parent has to say about
Record Keeping Books:
"I love the Horse record Book! Prior
to my daughter filling out the expense
section in the record book I would hear "I need to buy this" or "I
would
like to have that". Ali wrote every expense down from the day she bought
her horse Sobi a year
ago to the end of Fair this year. This included tack,
training, shows, board, feed, Vet and Furrier bills.
Her mouth dropped, she
couldn't believe how much it cost for her to have her horse for just one
year.
She now works at the barn to help pay for Sobi and her training
bills. I highly recommend the Horse Record Book
be used every year. It's a
great way to have everything about your horse in one place. Ali just
started
a new one."
