. . . I grew up on a farm in Adams County that my grandfather homesteaded in 1889. . . Then Union Pacific Railway gave me a 4-H scholarship . . . I graduated in 1939, I got a job in Lincoln County working with the extension program with livestock and the 4-H club.

Equine Dentistry Campaign
Because proper dental care is vital to a horse’s overall health,
the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) is launching
a campaign to promote the need for horses to receive a thorough oral
examination at least once a year. Designed to reach horse owners, the
campaign will kick off in April and run through 2008. MORE

It has been discovered that the file for PNW574, "4-H Horse
Contest Guide," included on the recently released 2007-2008
4-H Publications & Projects CD, is not the most recent version
of this publication.
The most recent version of PNW574 is available on the publication website and has been correctly linked on our 4-H website at: http://4h.wsu.edu/EM2778CD/pdf/PNW0574.pdf. The revision includes a brief paragraph and chart on pg. 33, titled 'Run-out Line" and applies to Washington only. An addendum is being included with hard copies of this publication distributed from WSU Extension Publishing and Printing (formerly Bulletins).
New 4-H Projects & Publications CD's, with the correct Horse Contest Guide file, is available from the Extension Office for enrolled 4-H Horse Leaders.

Check out this website about wrapping horse legs. This lady donated
some videos to IEBRA and I think her website is pretty informative.
I am sure alot of you guys already know all this stuff but maybe
we could forward it to the folks who need help with droopy bandages
or some tips on tried and true 'racetrack' medicine. She also offered
to do a free clinic in the spring and I for one would be interested
in hearing stuff on leg care after you run and for minor injuries.

Horses We Love
Essay
Forwarded by Dusti Campbell & Sally Schiller
God gives us horses and compels some of us to love them. Yet why
does the horse, an animal with such a big heart, live such a short
life?
