5 Page 5 MAY 2018 Horse Identification Papers are due May 1. Horse Information Horse Ownership: Youth may own the horse themselves, or use a family-owned horse (immediate family: mother, father, stepparent, brother, sister, grandparent, or legal guardian). Leasing: The leasing option is intended for youth who are unable to participate fully in the 4-H horse project because they do not have access to family-owned horse, provided that they manage the horse at least 75 percent of the time from May 1 through September 30. If a 4-H member leases his or her project horse to another 4-H member, the leaser forfeits the right to use the horse. Sharing project horses: Siblings may show the same horse provided they are not in the same class. If both are in the same age classification, they must decide what classes each will show in. 2 year and 3-year old Snaffle-bit: No one is allowed to ride this nominated horse except you from May 1 until the conclusion of the Kansas State Fair. This includes a trainer, parents, horseless horse member, another 4-H member, sibling, potential buyer, etc. Great job by the Haven 4-H club for putting together Havens annual Easter egg hunt. The Haven community came out in forces to enjoy the day with the Easter Bunny. Lots of eggs were found and prizes handed out for the kids that found the special egg. Nice to job helping out the community Haven 4-H club you ROCK!!!!! Thank you to reporter Connor Blubaugh for letting us know the great things happening in the Haven 4-H club.

8 The Reno County Sirius 4-H Dog Club participated in the Hutchinson Kennel Club Open House April 14 th. Several families and their dogs represented our club. We introduced ourselves and our dogs and did a brief demonstration of Rally Obedience. We had a table displaying photos from our past events and distributed information about the dog project to anyone interested. It was also a great event for the 4-Her s to learn more about the many different activities and classes offered at the Kennel Club. Ryan Klamm, one of our members, had a fund raiser for his upcoming trip to the Netherlands. Ryan and his dog Bandit are competing as a part of the AKC European Open Agility team. It has been called the dog Olympics for Agility. Ryan has worked so hard for this and we wish him the best of luck as he competes in this special event. Thank you to Hayden Brown for this article. Great job Hayden! ********************************************************************************************* COMMUNITY SERVICE AT CAREY PARK Lisa and Sami Young Royal Clovers 4-H Club
