869.0. "BREED FARMS FOR 4-H TOURS" by LUDWIG::ROCK () Tue Feb 28 1989 13:58

    CAN ANYONE OUT THERE TELL ME OF SOME FARMS OR STABLES OUT THERE
    
    THAT WOULD BE NICE PLACES TO TAKE YOUNG 4-H KIDS TO FOR TOURS?
    
    I HAVE A LOT OF HORSE LOVERS IN OUR CLUB AND AM TRYING TO SET UP
    
    SOME CLINICS FOR THE KIDS TO GO TO AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
    
    BREEDS. I HAVE SET A SMALL TOUR UP WITH A GENTLEMAN IN SUDBURY 
    
    MASS. TO SEE HIS CLYDESDALES. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THEM TO ANY
    
    FARM THAT IS LOCAL TO THE SOUTHBOROUGH, MASS. AREA. ARE THERE ANY
    
    MINATURE HORSE FARMS AROUND?
    
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT.
    
    THANKS,   TERRY

869.1Open Barn Days?MPGS::SCHOFIELDWed Mar 01 1989 10:0812
    Hi,
    
    How about checking the Pedlar for some 'Open Barn Days'.  Usually each
    spring there are some Farms that participate in an effort to promote
    their breeds.  How about the Mounted Police Unit?  I can remember going
    there as a 4H'er.  I was a great tour.  How about the Equine Expo.
    I know that is a haul - but could be very worthwhile.  There should
    be many different breeds represented there.
    
    Good Luck & Have Fun,
    
    Wendy

    YES I WAS PLANNING ON PICKING UP THE MARCH PEDLAR AND CHECKING IT
    OUT FOR SOME FARMS. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THE KIDS ABOUT THE EQUINE
    EXPO...LIKE YOU SAID IT IS A HAUL. I AM GOING BUT I THINK I WILL
    LET THE PARENTS TAKE THE KIDS TO THAT THEM SELVES. I LOVE TO GO
    FOR THE DAY AND GO OUT TO DINNER AFTER.
    
    GOOD IDEA ON THE MOUNTED POLICE. I THINK THERE IS A GROUP IN THE
    UPTON STATE FOREST. AND THAT IS ABOUT 15 MINUTES FROM US.
    
    THANKS,
    
    ANY OTHER GOOD IDEAS ARE HELPFUL. I SOMETIMES FORGET ABOUT THE 
    THINGS CLOSE BY.

    Hi Terry,
    
    There is a miniature horse farm about 3 miles from me.  I'm sure
    she would let the kids tour it.  My neighbor works for her.  Then
    you could also stop by and see spider :)
    
    Let me know if you are interested.
