Horse, Pony Club Is Latest In 4-H Saddle Horse, Pony Club In First Year To teach young riders horsemanship and how to handle a horse without getting hurt are two goals of the newest 4-H club in Adams cOUnty and one of the first of its kind in the Hoosier state. Adams county’s 4-H saddle horse and pony club, in its first year in the county, is also a pioneer group for the 4-H clubs of Indiana, for there are less than six other such organizations in Indiana. It is helping to formulate rules that can be used in the coming years as the saddle horse and pony project grow, and more clubs are formed. The horse snow, to be the first day of the county 4-H fair, July 29, will demonstrate the basics the thirty-some young people have learned in their bi-weekly meetings this season. They will be judged entirely on horsemanship, for trappings and fine points on animals and riding will not be on the score sheet. Riders will be divided into two classes: those aged 10 to 14, inclusive: and those 15 and older; they may be mounted on either horses or ponies, and ownership of the mount is not required this year. Each rider will ■J,■'ad his horse into the |show ring, unsaddle, to go through some of the basics of keeping up a horse's appearance. He will then resaddle, mount, and ride once around the ring, according to the ararngements the advisers have made. At their last pre-fair meeting Friday, at the Kenneth Warden farm members of the horse and pony club prepared for the show, getting instructions on the routine. After president Jim Singleton opened the meeting. Cassie Strickler and Jim Sipe led the pleadges and Karen Grice took the roll. Ricky Gerbers demonstrated on one last part of the show routine, cleaning the horse’s feet. Working with Nicholas, a bay owned, by one of the advisory committee, he showed how to pick up the front and hind legs, what sort of picks can be used, and how to work around the inside of the foot. Proper unsaddling and grooming will be a vital part of the horsemanship show. Advisers of the club helped the group to review first on leading the horse in and how to safely hold the rope, how to lay the saddle the right position, (on the ground in), how to brush the animal’s coat* and how to re-saddle .making sure the hair beneath is smooth and that the trappings are correctly placed on the off, dr right, side of the horse, before tightening the cinch. One way of grooming the horse, the group was told, was cavalryman’s way: using two brushes, alternating the strokes. However, advisers and membeds agreed that one brush was probably enough. Club president Singleton was chosen to demonstrate the show ring procedure. “Don't spare the elbow grease’’ was an additional point addeld during his demonstration on brushing the horse, Nicholas again, who remained patient during his evening workout. Meetings of the pony club have continued to be like this, being almost all demonstration and practice on the mounts, under the principle that participing is the best way to learn. Aware that most young people who love horses will try to work with them anyway, whether in a same way or not. the advisors have been “out to teach the young people a little bit of horse sense.” Dr. George Gillie, of Fort Wayne, visited the group to speak at the first meeting. The Fort WayneAllen county saddle horse and pony club is also among the pioneers in this new project, meant specifically for pleasure and not monetary gain. Each member of this club must also carry at least one other state-approved 4-H project. Advisers of the club, who have used the “Western Horseman” to supplement their own experience, affirm that there has been “a lot of good interest,” that the youths have learned a lot in horsemanship and that the group has been a good one, a niece one to work with. On the advisory committee are Edward Gerbers, Betsy Peck, Oscar Ray, Lucille and Kenneth Secaur, Everett Singleton, and Harriet Sprunger. Club members’ recreations to the club are enthusiastic; one comment was that “they live from meeting to meeting.” Charter officers of the county Saddle horse and pony club have been president, Jim Singleton; secretary, Jerry Osborne; and .treasurer, Karen Grice.

Their horse show is slated for the afternoon of the first day of the fair, Tuesday, July 29, beginning at 3 p.m. This will be the only riding to be done at the fair, excepting in the hour-long grand opening parade, beginning at 7:15 that evening. Horses are to be taken home immediately afterwards. During the afternoon ,the horses will stay in their own area, completely off the school grounds. After the horse show, the group has planned one Ist meeting for their first -year, to be a general get-together at Saddle Lake ,for August 26. Next year, state Saddle Horse and Pony club rules will be set up, it is expected. The main 4-H office will prepared the rules this fall, forming them according to the work done this year by the state’s less than six organized clubs, including the Adams county group. As the 4-H horsemanship groups increase, the 4-H fair is also the place of the county fair. And as the clubs grow, something will return to the fair grounds that many people recall to be the first reason that fairs were started: the horses. ’ Attend Seminar On Production Credit Annual Seminar Is Concluded Tuesday More than 200 office secretaries and secretary-treasurers from the Production Credit association in Indiana and Ohio attended an annual seminar at Columbus, 0., which ended Tuesday.
