Do you draw horses on your math
homework? Would you rather
muck a stall than clean your room?
Could you win the school spelling bee if they asked you to spell
Appaloosa? Would you like
to visit a miniature horse farm?
Would you like to learn more about horse camping?
Have you ever seen an equine surgery room?
Have you been to model horse show?
If you could answer “yes” to any of these questions,
then you need to attend the next Norco Junior Horsemen’s Association
meeting!
Come and meet other young, active horse people, and learn
more about the horses we already enjoy. Each meeting will announce
the details of our upcoming field trips and activities, so don't miss
out! Check the website for information on our next speaker and the
topic to be presented. Remember, bring
a notebook for the information you'll be collecting, and for
the handouts you'll take home.
We’ll be meeting at the Norco Community Center in the Small Auditorium
on the third Friday of each month. (January through November) from
6:45-8:30 PM.
For more information (or if you’d like to bring homemade
cookies!), please call Kathy Thistlethwaite (that’s Kathy T. to
most folks) at 737-8567.
