BROOKINGS, S.D. – Thirty-seven 4-H members representing eight South Dakota counties gathered on October 1, 2017 at the 4-H Grounds in Forestburg for the Sanborn County Fun Horse Show an annual event held as a kickoff event for National 4-H Week by participating in horse safety training, and improving their horsemanship skills in several individual events.

“Working with horses builds confidence and provides responsibility for children, but nothing is more important than their safety,” said Audra Scheel, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Program Advisor – Sanborn, Aurora & Jerauld/Buffalo Counties.

To provide safety education, Eric Kobernusz of Mt. Vernon was invited to present during the event. Kobernusz served as the horse safety instructor and judge throughout the day. He taught members basic horse safety skills.



Safety is always at the forefront of any project done in 4-H.

Other information he taught included:



How to pick up a horse’s foot

Safe ground handling

Checking tack

Loping each direction in the correct lead

Turning a horse on its forehand and hind quarter

Backing the horse on the ground

Events were held to reinforce what the youth learned earlier in the day.

Ribbons were awarded in each event to the top six finishers in each class of beginner, junior and senior participants.

Points were totaled and Grand Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons and prizes were awarded to overall beginner, junior and senior participants.

This event was sponsored by Sanborn County 4-H leaders.
