Welcome Denise!
I know about the "getting involved with 4-H". My daughter has played
around with it a couple years but not serious. Her "4-h" horse is
now officially retired and we have a horse to replace her. And like
you, we've got a long way to go! Now if only the weather would co-
operate so we can get started!!! 4-H is coming up quickly!!!!
