'n i l •• 1 By Merlynn Robinson Sometimes one has to ask oneself why we undertake a stenuous job, especially when they get to be my age and arthritic joints protest. It it to prove that the old body can still take it? Or is it a reluctance to give up on an activity that also tests the mental ability of an aging brain? After a summer of 4-H horse judging at neighboring places like Union. Burns and John Day, I wondered why anyone would trade lounging in the shade for an opportunity to stand all day in the heat, dirt, wind or sometimes rain. I guess it’s just that kids and horses are an irresistible combination. And as boot heels sink slowly into knee-deep arena dust or mud, a judge un consciously hopes that every skinny 80-pound rider can direct 1,000 pounds of horseflesh to perform correctly. In 4-H contests, judges aren’t always confronted with the best horse specimens. They come in all sizes, types and temperaments. Sometimes these horses could test the skills of a bronc rider. There are usually the balkers who refuse to leave a line-up. And some of them have one thing on their minds—getting rid of a pint-sized rider. And then there’s usually some cranky old mare who threatens everyone’s safety as she pins her ears and tries to decide who to zero in on. But these riders have lots of grit, though they don’t have much option if Old Paint decides to stampede. And sometimes the pace at which horse and rider perform makes it seem like speed in the only criteria. Meanwhile parents on the sidelines are coaching and cheering; just cer tain that their youngsters will be awarded a blue ribbon. And often they don’t understand that deleting some maneuvers, happily loping along on the wrong lead or bouncing like a rubber ball just isn’t a winning performance. Fortunately in 4-H horse contests, the quality of mounts isn’t a matter of importance—as long as that horse has four legs and doesn’t limp. There is usually an individual horse that looks like his body got compressed in a vice’ or one that could win an ugly contest with a hammer head. Then there are some who could eat out of a fruit jar with their bottle noses. But to that youngster, that horse has the beauty of a champion; so it’s the judges duty to find something positive to say about that horse and rider. But as much as any judge would like to see these youngsters mounted on a quality horse, the positive thing is the dedication and involvement of youngsters and their families. Though riders usually get bounced off a few times, these kids are learning responsibility and skills. And that dedication keeps them busy and happy. There are just as many backyard-kept horses as there are ranch ones And though these kids may not ride an arena cham pion, what better way for a young person to be involved? Keeping a horse healthy and fed, acquiring tack and clothing is an ex pensive project. However most children are blessed with parents who ab sorb the costs, just as in other sports. Learning basic horsemanship skills and sportsmanship in 4-H is often the stepping stone to other horse activities such as rodeo events including barrel racing, roping and court member participation. However some of the most memorable events of those formative years is ths-eomaraderie of a group trail ride—an activity that any age can enjoy. 2 Obituaries _ BK301 8K301 Capped WIDE AND COLLEGE RULE COLOR TALK FTeg. 804 r (T e o d $ 7.99 MEAD 59 sons were helped indirectly or direct ly through networking system with other agencies and organizations. “ Persons who love to help other persons are VIP’s (very important people),’’ said Hoobing.
