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.
