The Northampton County 4H Center will be sponsoring an Open Youth (ages 8 - 18) Schooling Show in Bushkill Township, just outside of Nazareth, PA. The show will be held on October 5th, 2008, in conjunction with the Northampton County Open Gate Farm Tour.
A variety of fun walk/trot and walk/trot/canter classes will be held including "Egg & Spoon", and "Musical Mount". There will also be an adult lead line class where youth (8 - 18 years of age) will lead horses with adult riders (over 21 years). Hmmmm. This class sounds interesting. A costume class will be held at the end of the show. We may have some imaginative horse and rider costumes here.
The cost per class is $6.00, which benefits the 4H.
In the blue building at the Center, 4H'ers will have their projects displayed. 4H offers a variety of projects in many areas other than animals and farming. There are shooting sports, crafts, sewing, forestry, gardening, cooking, etc. Actually, too many to list.
At 1PM, Equilibrium, a local handicapped riding program, will be giving a demonstration.
Food and drink will also be available during the show courtesy of the Northampton County 4H Center Board. The Center Board will also be serving the 4H's famous BBQ'd Chicken Platters starting at noon. The chicken is BBQ'd over coals basted with their special marinade and it is really tasty. Yummmmmmm. I can smell it and taste it now. The proceeds from the food and BBQ'd chicken goes to the Northampton County 4H.
So, if your are looking for something to do on an October Sunday, come on out and enjoy the horse show and delicious chicken.
Hope to see you there!
Brigita - Horse shows are so much fun! I wish I could be there. I hope you have beautiful weather for it! :)

I couldn't gree with you more! One of my 4H members will be showing my horse, Eddie, that day. She's all excited. It's her first show and I know she'll do well. I know Eddie will because he's done it so many times, he's a pro at it.

Brigita - We're not going to a horse show that weekend, but we are taking our horses to my husband's dad's farm that weekend. It's a great place to run and have fun! :)
Debi:
Sounds like a great weekend! :-) Have a great time!
