We had a great time at the 2023 West District 4-H Horsemanship Clinic. There were 67 youth riding their horses and 7 unmounted participants. Riders came from Cherokee County to Lincoln and Gaston County. We had great clinicians and great participants.

Participants at the clinic are able to choose their riding discipline and have two days to work with clinicians on those techniques. The disciplines they can participate in are:  Cloverbud, Novice, Non-trotting, Speed, Ranch/Western, and Hunt Seat/English. On the third day, the participants get to participate in the cattle sorting, horse obstacles, and/or dressage.

Mounted participants were able to participate in the Golden Shovel stable management award. Participants had to keep their horse stalls picked and maintain their horses food and water access. The equestrians are given points by anonymous judges that do several checks during the first 2 days and the 1st and 2nd place stalls are given the Golden Shovel award.

Golden shovel winners: 1st place Ben Holland from Macon County(left) and 2nd Place winner Hannah Cole from Burke County(right).
