Green As Grass Clinic A Great Success

Larry Heyboer Shares Some PointersWe had 18 horses and their riders participate in our annual Green As Grass Spring Clinic. There were that many or more in the "gallery" observing their friends and family. Larry Heyboer did a great job explaining our classes and show format to the attendees.

Many had never seen or worked a cutting flag before let alone been around cattle. Most of the day was spent getting everyone used to the aspects of working these two areas as a introduction to cutting. The cattle work was by far the most exciting part of their day and the smiles told the story.

The afternoon had the riders on the handy ranch obstacles and Larry again exposed many to roping and tossing a loop for the first time. Moving through our typical showbill, Bob Walton did a great job explaining how a reining class is judged. Ed Sharda was a willing example showing the group the maneuvers as Bob scored his "run."

We couldn't have done it without the willing participants and support of several volunteers. A special thanks to Larry, Bob, Tom, Ed, Dr. John, Woody, Wendy, Jan and Kelly for all you did to make the day run so smoothly. Faith Farms was a great place to hold the event too. The operators of the facility rolled out the lunch wagon and made us all feel very welcome.
