Longacres students and 4-H'ers Work on Pasture!

On Friday August 15, 2008 a crew of about 14 worked on cleaning an fixing a Longacres pasture.  Students learned about pasture maintenance and horse safety while working in 80 degree heat.  They removed poisonous weeds, trimmed tree and bush branches above horse eye level, picked up manure and branches.  The knowledge they obtained is important in knowing how to give your horse a safe and secure environment to live.  It also leaves one with a muscle deep understanding that horsemanship is more than grooming, saddling up and riding!  Look for date of the next pasture work day and let Crystal.

The photos didn't come out all that great (must have been the heat waves!)  but if download the large version and zoom in you get a fair amount of clarity.
