Kyla Moore
Age 9
My name is Kyla Moore. I am nine years old and a member of the Split Log 4-H Club. I was a Clover Kid for three years and now I have finished my second year as a member.
Reasons I have a strong interest in 4-H are because my mother, aunt, uncle and grandpa were very active in 4-H growing up. My grandpa, as a retired county extension agent, has been a huge influence in my decision to be involved in 4-H. I also have two older cousins that have excelled in many areas of 4-H and have encouraged me to do the same and set goals high.
I have learned more than I expected this past year in my horse project from the help of my cousin.
She has helped me learn the importance of practicing riding my horse and how important good posture is.
This lesson has helped me not only with riding my horse but I have continued that by competing in the personal hygiene contest and posture is very important in that area of my interest also. I have spent more time in my speaking and my horse care and competition than my photography and art projects.
I was crowned the McDonald County Fair Princess this past fair season.
What a wonderful experience getting to talk to all of the participants at the fair.
Everyone was a winner in the ring in my eyes, but I am no judge.
The goat show was very interesting because I have had no experience with goats.
During the fair I had the opportunity to show my fall heifer, Mudslinger, we didn't win best of show but I had a great time. She looked beautiful and I was able to represent the county as fair princess also in the show ring.
What I like most about 4-H is the opportunities that it has already presented me with. Without my experiences in 4-H I don't know if I would have ever been able to speak in front of judges, large groups and most of all becoming a princess.
