A 4-H horse program volunteer for at least 20 years, Diane is a project leader for Hunter’s Pride 4-H club and helps the club superintend the 4-H Hunter and Hunter Hack Jumper shows at the Lancaster County Super Fair. She helps teach club members jumping, dressage and other English horse disciplines. Diane is also a member of the Horse Volunteers in Program Service (VIPS) committee and has helped with jumping clinics.
“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it’s neat to watch the kids grow, learn and become good citizens,” says Diane. “Seeing how much the horse program and county fair horse shows have grown is pretty amazing. When I was in 4-H, I showed at the State Fair Coliseum. It’s interesting how much has progressed and improved through the years. The English side has really grown.”
