New Horse Leaders Elected
 |
Congratulations to our new 2000-2001 Bexar County
4-H Horse Leader Association officers.
Veronica Valdez: President
Larry Brooks: V-President
Sylvanne Brooks: Treasurer
Jeanie Milikien: Secretary
Gracie Burciaga: Show Secretary
The Bexar County Horse Leader Association has requested
that the following statement be printed on their behalf: Representation
at BCHLA meetings is a requirement in order to ensure that all
disciplines of horsemanship and equitation are properly scheduled
during qualifying and playday event planning. Under representation
may result in scaled back or dropping from future horse shows.
At the next leaders meeting it will be decided and
voted upon as to whether to move English classes as the last event
at the horse shows or remove them from rotation completely.
Good luck to all those Bexar County 4-H Horse show
contestants who will go to state. (R.M.) To

Keeping Horses Cool
 |
Research shows that in performance horses, the internal
body temperatures can go above 105 F. when a horse is being worked
intensely, during hot Texas days.
We have a fact sheet that includes suggestions to
eliminate or decrease the frequency of heat related problems such
as hyperthermia, heat shock, heat strokes, anhydrosis, etc. in
performance horses during the summer. (R.M.) To

Lamb and Swine Validation Program
This validation program will meet identification requirements
and ensure that the integrity of our lamb and swine-feeding program
is maintained at the highest level.
Major shows include the following statement in their 2000-2001
premium list:
“To be eligible to exhibit in the 2000-2001 Junior Market Show, all
lambs and swine must be validated in the Texas 4-H and FFA Validation
Program. Each entry must have been recorded on a 4-H or FFA Validation
Form Master List completed by the County Validation Committee.”
The Bexar County Junior Livestock show WILL require lambs
and hogs to be validated in accordance with the state validation program.
The cost is $3.50 per lamb and $3.50 per hog. Deadline
to send in order form for lambs will be Monday, Sept. 11th. Lamb validation
form is enclosed in this newsletter. Date for hogs will be set at a
later time.
The committee realizes that this is very early and before
many animals are purchased, but this must be done prior to the state
deadline in order to make enough tags for the entire state. The best
recommendation is to order more than you plan, but realize these are
not refundable. (J.T) To Top
State Lamb Validation-Due Monday, September 11th

tags and nose prints will be taken. Cost will be $3.50 per head.
