4-HHorse School and District Horse Shows

Horse School although the numbers are small, The school will continue, but not without a few adjustments. I have shortened the schedule so that the school will end on Thursday (6/16) instead of Friday. We will use 4 arenas instead of 5 and I have cut the number of instructors. Expo New Mexico is working with the State 4-H Office to rewrite the contract to meet the adjusted schedule in an effort to make the school successful. Confirmation letters have been sent to those attending the school with these changes.

As far as the EHV-1 issue. I have been monitoring the status and talk with Dr. Wenzel at least once a day. As of this moment the school is still on. If the situation should change I will send out a high priority e-mail. As of the latest up-date, it has been recommended to continue to hold off with major horse events and activties. This will put the date to June 3, 2011. It is the position of the State 4-H Office that any 4-H equine activities follow the recommended guidelines sent out by the state vet.

District Horse Show are still scheduled as well.

Should you have any questions, give me a call.
