[QUOTE="chippie, post: 531537, member: 5644"] We have been a 4-H family for 16 years and I am a leader and club manager for our county's horse club. I've been on our fair's livestock committee for 6 years and chairman of the roaster committee. It all boils down to the parents. I see it every year. It's sad. The parents are eager for their child to win at whatever the cost. It is like it is the parent's project and the child just happens to show the animal. I hear the parent's talking about how "they" feed, how "they" work the animals, what they do. Not what their child does. And I see the parents grooming and fitting the animals while their children stand by visiting with friends. It is the same as some over the top Little League parents only it is in Livestock projects and shows. The parents are living through their children. I hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
