Midwest Horse Fair

This past month the 4-H club, Klippity Klop, visited Madison Wisconsin for the annual Midwest Horse Fair. There, the club members learned everything about horses.

This intriguing weekend was spent watching lessons, doing lively activities, and spending time with horses in general.

Most of the club’s time at Midwest Horse Fair was spent watching clinics. These included Clinton Anderson, trick riding, and mounted shooting. The members also learned how to take care of a horse and how difficult it is. The Midwest Horse Fair was entertainment for people of all ages and horse-related interests..

Finally, the club would like to thank Michelle Gobert for putting together fundraisers for this trip and Amy Kuebler for organizing it. The club would like to especially thank the Wabeno Christian Thrift Store for their generous donation, which allowed the members to attend two full days. This donation opened the Klippity Klop members to a completely new experience, which will only increase their enthusiasm for horses.
