JUNIOR MASTER HORSEMAN CLASS

Did you know the first horse that roamed the earth was only 15 inches tall and had four toes? The term conformation refers to a horse?s skeletal structure and overall appearance? These are just some of the many fun horse facts you can learn if you attend the Junior Master Horseman sessions presented by the NDSU Extension Service-Burleigh County! Junior Master Horsemen will learn fun horse facts, horse safety, horse care, breeds of horses and have the chance to ride during the last class. The classes will be offered July 27-30 from 8:00 a.m. until noon at the JoAnn Hetzel Memorial 4H Building, 3715 E Bismarck Expressway. Youth ages 8-14 are welcome to attend and do not need a horse to participate in this fun class. Our July 30th class will be 9 am until noon at Apple Creek Stables located at 5100 93rd St SE Bismarck, ND 58504. The registration fee for all four classes is $30, which includes daily snacks and supplies. Class size is limited to ten youth; registration will be taken on a first come, first served basis. To register, please call Kelsey Sheldon at the Burleigh County Extension Office at 701-221-6865 no later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday July 17th.
