Showing & Being a Leader

One way I am a leader is through 4-H. I have been in 4-H since 3rd grade. As we get older and have more knowledge about showing horses and taking good pictures we are able to share that knowledge with younger kids. Over the summer at the county fair there was a new member in my club showing her horse but she wasn't quite sure how to prepare before the show. So my mom and I brought her a little basket she could store brushes and horse shampoo, with a few treats, a hoof pick and some brushes we put in there for her. I told her a few ways to win the judge over, for example, smiling at the judge but not too much, pay attention to the horse and always act like you know exactly what you are doing. She now has a good idea of what to do now that she has gone out and showed. I hope I can help her more next year. Then when I come back to watch the shows after next year I hope she can help other people with showing.
