Leaders helping kids connect through horses

Horse oriented youth leaders gathered in Minneapolis this past weekend for the 2014 American Youth Horse Council Symposium. Leaders from breed associations, equine sports groups, 4H, FFA, scouting, rodeos and other groups learned a variety of tools to take back with them to teach youth about horsemanship and to attract new members. Danette McGuire, executive director of the council, tells Brownfield not as many children are involved in equine groups as there once were.  She says the benefits from working with horses are endless.

The 2015 American Youth Horse Council Symposium will be held in Redmond, Oregon.
