Learn to Do By Doing

Light Horse Members Spend the Weekend Learning

Jan 17, 2020 | 11:26 AM

4-H is one of Canada’s largest youth organizations. Our motto of “Learn To Do by Doing” has expanded from our rural roots to include more than 50 project options available today. 4-H Saskatchewan provides members and leaders with learning experiences tailored to the needs and interests of each individual. All members develop leadership skills primarily through the completion of projects.

One of the projects Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club is able to offer the members is the Light Horse Project.

This project is for all children and youth ages 6-21 and both for males and females. The children and youth are provided the opportunity to train and learn skills from local and highly trained clinicians. These clinicians instruct the children and youth the necessary skills to ride a horse, safety, nutritional requirements and how to take care of horses.

This year we had 7 new members join our 4-H club and the Light Horse project. We would like to provide the safest and positive experience, so they continue to grow their skills.

On December 14 & 15, 2019, we were able to host a light horse clinic at Sunshine Stables & Arena.

Our clinician, Gordon Dalshag, was able to provide our members with age appropriate and skill level appropriate lessons.

The lessons the members learnt were the importance of safety of a horse, how to properly sit while riding, how to show a horse and how to correct negative behaviour in your horse.

The members enjoyed their time spent with both the clinician, but the other 4-H members. The children and youth communicated after the clinic that they were excited to utilize what they had learnt at the clinic to improve their riding.

Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club was able to provide this clinic to our members due to the support of Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund and the Town of Battleford.
