Life On The Farm As The Years Fly Bye

We All Learn At a Different Pace

What did I learn about myself through my 4-H participation?

I learned that it is not easy to be 16 and on the edge of adulthood.

Head - to clear thinking, when giving your word to someone, think about how it will affect your heart if you buckle to peer pressure and go against your morals and ethics .

Heart - to greater loyalty; loyalty is something that is given freely and cannot be demanded or forced upon someone.

Hands - to larger service, you can only do what you feel is right and work hard to achieve your goals.

Health - to better living; if your word is your honor, and you stand fast to your morals and ethics; loyalty will come to you freely, your goals will be realized, and you will make a difference in the world around you.


I love 4-H !


Peer pressure is one of the hardest things we face; stay true to yourself no matter how hard it is and make a difference!

Today I went to what I thought was a one day camp. It is not a one day camp it is a project. My family drive's teams of horses and I thought I would go and learn about the equipment and tack and how to hook up the horse's. I had so much fun I signed up for the Project. I think everyone else had fun too.

It is not to late if you would like to learn how to drive a team of horses call the Gooding County Ext. office at 934 - 4417or the Lincoln County Ext. office at 886 -2406 for more information and the time and date of the next meeting.

Western Heritage Gathering & Ranch Rodeo Was A Sucess!




















(click on the pictures to see full screen)
My Grandma Helen, Grandpa Harold and I competed in the Draft horse competition and took home a total of 4 blue ribbons and 4 red ribbons.

As you can see the drivers in this contest came in all sizes and ages, It is a way of life for some here in Idaho. Driving a team of horses is fun and it keep are heritage alive.

Where I live we see the sheep herdsman wagons all the time, but I had never seen them up close or the inside, so I thought you might like to see what the herdsman wagons looked like too.
I think these wagons would be fun for camping, don't you!

At night there was a ranch hand rodeo also.

So many people worked hard and together to make the event happen It is impossible to list everyone because so many people pitched in to help. But two people really need to be mentioned because they made this event happen . They are Jeff Cole and Carmen Stevens. Those of you who are 4-H members, leaders and parents who helped A big thank You.

Last but not least thanks to all in the Gooding and other communities for coming out and supporting our 4-H program.
