A volunteer for more than six years, Sally is organizational leader of the Prairie Star 4-H club and assists with Boots ‘N’ Hooves and Hunter’s Pride clubs. All three clubs focus on the 4-H horse project.
From April through October, Sally coaches youth at horse events, pre-districts, districts and Super Fair. The rest of the year, she organizes 4-H horse clinics, holiday horseback caroling, trail rides and other equine events focused on growing leaders, community and knowledge.
“I love helping and watching the youth I work with reach their goals,” says Sally. “The activities and adventures we’ve had started with their ideas, then we made it happen. Horses have alway been a way to connect people — and they have brought so many fantastic people into my life. With our 4-H community, I continue to find more fantastic parents, youth and volunteers. I love that I learn from each 4-H member in my group and through them, I grow as a leader and as an equestrian.”
