A little about ourselves
Welcome to the newly formed Sagehill 4-H Club!
4-H is a volunteer run program for youth aged 6-25 and is dedicated to offering hands on learning experiences in the areas of project skill development, communication, meeting management and leadership.
The four H's represent the core values of 4-H Canada:
HEAD: Managing, Thinking HEART: Relating, Caring HANDS: Giving, Working HEALTH: Being, Living
4-H provides many benefits to members and volunteer leaders including travel opportunities, networking opportunities with other clubs and members across Canada and the U.S., and scholarship opportunities. It also looks great on resumes and college/university applications when students are applying for post-secondary education! Some examples include the 4-H Canada Science Fair, Provincial Leaders Conference, Japan Homestay Program, Club to Club Exchanges and much more! You can learn more about 4-H and the many opportunities for members and volunteer leaders by visiting the 4-H Manitoba website at www.4H.mb.ca

Equine ProjectOur initial project for 2018 is Equine, but there are many other projects that could be pursued (these will be discussed as the club develops, based on member interest, volunteers leaders, opportunities to coordinate with other clubs, ect.). Everyone must start at Equine Level 1, but older members may be able to challenge the levels and proceed through more than one level per year (at no extra cost).
The project years run from September 1 to August 31. You do not need to have your own horse to be a member, but there will be a school horse fee applied to rent a school horse at the facility (see below). The Equine Series - Explore Horses Levels 1, 2, and 3 are in separate manuals and aimed at members ages 6-12. These manuals cover the basics of horse safety, groundwork, grooming, psychology, health, identification and riding. Typically members will complete one project per year, but you can do more if you like! If you are new to horses and age 6 to 12, we recommend you start with Level 1. Older members (age 12 and up) may challenge the checklists at the end of Levels 1 to 3 to move on to Discovering Equine (Levels 4 and 5) and Mastering Equine (age 14 and up). If you are a Sagehill Lesson Student age 12 and up, we recommend you start with Discovering Equine Level 4. You can view the project manuals online at 4H.mb.ca. If you are an advanced student looking to join 4-H and are unsure which level to register for, please contact us at 4H@sagehillstables.com and we will provide some guidance for you! |

Registration is due by November 15, 2018. Cost for the year is $100 ($75 to MB 4-H Council, $5 to Red River Council and $20 to Sagehill Club). Payment is due at first meeting on December 2, 2018, cash, cheque or eTransfer. Schedule of meetings For the first year our plan is to have Theory meetings twice per month, from Dec 2018 to March 2019, on Sundays from 3-5pm. Memebers will be split into groups based on their project level. Six riding meetings will be held in summer of 2019, dates and times TBD by the club members. All Theory meetings will include some actual pony/horse time in the barn (but no riding). Theory meetings: Dec 2 - Initial meeting, plans for the year, handing out workbooks, Safety & Stable Management Dec 16 - Groundwork; Christmas party Jan 13 - Grooming Jan 27 - Psychology of the Horse Feb 10 - Communication Day Feb 24 - Speeches Day March 3 - Health March 17 - Identification & Conformation Riding meetings Summer 2019 - 6 riding sessions* (on a weekday night determined by the group, last ride day will be Achievement Day) *Bring your own horse to the riding days or use a Sagehill school horse for a set fee ($25.00 per use). 4-H members may gain credit hrs for volunteering at Sagehill (8 volunteer hrs = 1 school horse fee credit). There may be more optional volunteer hrs for experienced members who are capable of tacking up and leading a horse by themselves, or are strong enough to do stable chores (this requires prior approval from Sagehill Stables). To officially complete the 4-H year, a member must attend 10 of 14 planned club meetings, participate in one volunteer day, prepare and give a speech, and achieve by showing the club what they learned during the year on Achievement Day.
