I have two major beefs with 4-H... They dont have a good solid teaching program in place for horses. Most of the material is extremely out dated.. (I cant even count the number of kids who shorted stock breeds tails because the 4-H book said so) What is really taught, depends on what club a kid is in... With pony club atleast they have the levels and tests. I would love to see pony club form a western branch or 4-H step up to the plate.

OMG!!! LMFAO!!!! imageimageimage My VERY first 4-H horse had his tail chopped (by me) in this very manner because THAT is how it showed it in the book and I had never shown a horse before! I was 9... I am now 30!! WTF!? Seriously? That book has NOT been updated yet??? WOW!!! Thanks for the laugh.... I can still see the little black and white drawing depicting the stock horse from behind with his 1970's cut off just below the hocks and rounded tail.... HOLY SHIT! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Damn! I feel old!
