Fietas In Panama Are Refreshing To Everyone

(EDITORS NOTE - The following is the third newsletter sent from Panama by Jon Roberts of Syracuse. Jon is in Panama with the international Farm Youth Exchange iIFYE) program conducted by the National 4-H club foundation for the cooperative extension service. The program is a youth educational program between the United States and about 35 countries. The program with Panama is in cooperation with Patronato Nacional Clubes 4-S. friends of 4-H in Panama and the United States assisted in financing this exchange.) Buenos dias Amigos, de Panama. Since arriving in Panama 24 months ago. I have attended many fiestas. Recently, my host family and I went to a two-day Mother's Day fiesta. It was typical of the many small town fiestas that take place in Panama. It included a bull fight, calf roping, and a lot of dancing. • dancing.

Shetland Ponies Great For Children

Copley Nows Service “My kids race around on ponies the way most kids ride bikes.” the father of ’two youngsters said recently. One of his ponies is a Shetland, the other (the more docile*.'is part Shetland, part Welsh. He bought them three years ago when his children were three and four years of age The , family lives in a semirural area where many people have ponies, mostly Shetlands, for their small children, he said. By the time the youngsters are 10 or 11 they want big horses. There are a variety of pure breeds of ponies. Very small ones include Shetlands. Welsh and Chincoteague. And there are many more mixed breeds.-, some known as ‘‘allAmerican” ponies But for generations the Shetland has been the most popular as a first mount for small children and for pulling carts for them to ride in. Shetlands hail from the barren Shetland Islands north of Scotland where grass is scarce. It’s generally believed the ponies remained small and developed rugged physiques because of their hard lives there.

This particular fiesta was in a neighboring town. All the people from my town jumped in the available cars, van type buses, pickups and livestock trucks.-to form a caravan to the fiesta. We stopped in a town half way to the fiesta to wait for people from other towns to join the caravan. With renewed strength, we headed for. the fiesta singing songs all the way. To announce our arrival, we let loose with our own Fourth of July type of fireworks. After a small parade, the bull fight started: A few bulls were reluctant when they.saw the red cape, but most of them put on quite a show. Several times they sent the * men in the ring scrambling up the fence. the spectators sitting on the fence would scatter when the bull charged their way. After a parade and singing at sunset to honor the mothers present, the dancing started. Age made no difference as old and

Z Yet here, in lush pastures, they’ve remained small—4o or more inches high— and were the smallest horses in the world until the recent development «of miniature horses whidh are even smaller. The latter can't be ridden by children over four and some are \kept just as pets and aren’t ridden at all CSShetlands ccme in a variety of colors—brown, black, bay. occasionally chestnut or pinto At a summer fair recently, white Shetland pony created a sensation pulling a white and gold chariot in which were two small boys in white and gold Roman togas The Shetland’s small size, wide back surefootedness and generally good disposition, make him particularly suited for small children But as one owner told me. “They’re sometimes moody and unpredictable Our children know when they’re out of sorts and don’t ride them then." A lot depends on the way they’re raised. If a pony is teased, overridden or mistreated he may retaliate by biting or even throwing his small rider. To keep a Shetland or any pony, you should have at least; a half acre of land zoned for agriculture They must

young alike danced. A band played the typical Panamian music. Each song lasted fifteen minutes and then the band would take a three to five minute break. The Panamian dance style is a rapid tango type dance. The next afternoon the calf roping took place. Here the Panamian men prove their ability with the horse and rope. All were quite experienced since this is a cattle growing region of Panama. The roping was very similar to what is found in a U.S. Rodeo. The only difference is that the calves are a little larger and sometimes even full grown. Again that evening, we danced from 6:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. when everyone went home. The next morning found everybody a little tired, but rejuvenated after a great fiesta. Maybe there will be another one in a few weeks to again refresh everyone. i Hasta lleugo. < Jon Roberts

have a. shelter or, preferably, a small barn. Some people convert their garages into ’ pony barns When not in pasture, ponies should be fed twice a day—a variety of hays and grains. Some feed, in addition, horse pellets containing needed nutrients plus molasses and treats such as apples and car- ’ rots. They also need salt. It’s very important to keep food dry as moldy hay and grain can cause serious illness. Ponies should be brushed and curried regularly. Often a teenager in the neighborhood is hired for this work. And their hooves must.be cleaned out with a hoof pick and, at regular intervals, trimmed and shod by a ferrier or blacksmith. Before buying a pony for . their children, parents should them and take the f»ver-all responsibility for- - care and well-being. Always move sfowly and quietly around them. Talk' to tlfem. praise and pet them, and. most important, teach children from the beginning to treat them with respect. and kindness Frustration is a baldheaded hippie.
