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 will 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 would like to bring homemade cookies!), please call Kathy Thistlethwaite (that's Kathy T. to most folks) at 737-8567.
