OFFKM youth win in 4-H horse competition

At 4-H horse competition meet in late July 2017, several of Our Father’s Family Keeper Ministries won awards for their horsemanship.

These young boys won the awards during the Rocky River Riders 4-H Horse Show on July 22, 2017, in southwest Michigan.

OFFKM has been mentoring these young men for the past few years, supporting what they learn with the 4-H horsing program.  (Learn more about the 4-H Horses and Ponies program by clicking here!)

Youth participate in 4-H horse program

Two area youth spent the summer learning about horses in a program run by Mr. Ray Hahn, the 4-H Rocky River Riders leader.  The two youth who enjoyed this experience were 5-year-old Aivian Allen and 6-year-old Keion White.  Hahn worked with other youtAV with horseh, Ms. Lauren and Ms. Courtney, in this venture.
     A big congrats to Mr. Ray Hahn for his selfless devotion to our youth and his sharing of his passion with them.
     This is also a plea to raise donations for Mr. Hahn and his horse program, to help his 4-H Club raise funds to maintain his horse, and to solicit helpers to volunteer an hour or two a week to help with chores.
