When I got a call last weekend about helping to teach a 4-H horse camp in Bowling Green last week, I was kinda intrigued. As a graduated 4-Her myself, I thought how fun! Kids from all over the state can register, bring their own horse, and get help in their respectable fields to prepare them for the show season ahead -- not to mention it is like a big slumber party with KARAOKE on Saturday night!
We never had anything like that when I was in 4-H, let me tell ya! You worked at home, went to the shows, went to state if you were lucky (that was our party -- no Party like the Illinois State Fair!), and then the year was over! Done! Finito!
I received the schedule for this "business" trip yesterday, and let me tell you -- it looks like boot camp for equestrians! Everyone is up at 6am and to bed at 11pm -- not even I keep hours like that anymore! This trip is seeming more business-like every moment -- not to mention the classroom sessions that I have "pull something out of my head." (Ummm-- how does one prepare for that when you have no idea who is going to be there? -- FOUR of these classroom sessions people -- FOUR!!)
The fun part -- think all expense paid, staying in the ritz, and late night sitting at the bar with my good friends sipping on a beer! Although it may be a long weekend, boring it will be not!
