| Impact Report | Horse program Through a variety of events brought about by the 4-H clubs 85 youth participated in the Socorro County Horse programs. Tumbleweed 4-H started a gymkhana series as a cool fundraiser that the club members could also participate in. With this came a need to provide some horsemanship trainings, so Enterprise for Progress initiated riding clinics for its members and anyone else. The Agent was asked to provide these clinics, and due to the high attendance the agent asked two other leaders to come in and provide instruction. 80% of these youth showed a noticeable improvement in Horsmanship skills by the end of the 3 clinics. Mustang 4-H club also got in on the action putting together a gymkhana of their own. 10 youth participated in District 4-H Horse show, 2 went on to the State Fair Show. Several adults made comments that these were great programs it gave us something to do with our horses besides just feeding them. After watching the youth participate over the year it was great to see the progress many of the youth made in self-confidence being evident in their times turned in at the competitive events. |
