 4-H members from both Crow Wing and Cass counties have spent the past week rehearsing for a unique form of competition. The 4-H horse program offers a drill team experience where kids can ride to a choreographed routine on horseback and learn maneuvers on how to handle their horse. The group of performers have worked on these skills over the past three months and the group is one of eight that will be competing in a regional competition coming up this weekend. We have the regional drill competition in Nevis, Minnesota at the Straight Rail Ranch on Saturday, July 21, 2018. We're super excited to go. We practice every Wednesday at the Crow Wing County Fairgrounds in the horse arena. We're here about an hour and a half every single day and we just we love horses. The event is free and open to the public and anyone with questions about the event is encouraged to call 218-333-0305.
