The Millarville Mutts and Mustangs have just finished our public speaking. In our club public speaking for juniors, Gracie got alternate, Jessie received second and Shannon placed first. In the intermediate class, Nicole was the alternate, I won second and Paula achieved first. And, for the seniors, Rachel accepted second and Cassidy made first. Only three members went on to Area level public speaking and they were Nicole, Shannon and Jessie. No one placed, but everyone still did great.
On another occasion, some members went to the race track to bake cookies for the dogs. There were cookies with garlic, blue berries, baby food and peanut butter. All of the dogs loved them and a couple of the boys had a taste, too.
We are now starting agility. I think this is our favourite part of training and the dogs love it, too.
The horse group has been working on their assessments and has learned a lot from the clinics that they have had. But once in a while they make time to go on a ride with the horses.
In just a month or two our lives are going to be jam packed with 4-H activities. For one, we will have our Achievement Day which is where we have fun little competitions with agility, showmanship and obedience. The horse section will do English and Western pleasure. It is all on the same day so we can see what both sides of our club does. Another event is highway clean-up. We do this every year and it helps club funding. It is not as easy as it looks because you have no idea of what we might find. The biggest event is 4-H On Parade which everyone looks forward to. We have competitions with the other clubs. But before that, we get our ideas together on how we are going to decorate the stable and our dog cages. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Our 4-H club is keeping very busy, but we are having lots of fun.
Good one
