the Midcoast Mainers drove down to Massachusetts with our horses to participate in the 2025 Eastern States Equestrian show as part of the eight member Maine Equestrian Team. While at the Big E we competed in many classes with our horses. Ranging from Open English, Western, Ranch Pleasure and a creative costume class.\u00a0 The classes consisted of 12-18 riders as we were told this was the largest turnout they had in quite a few years.\u00a0 We all earned multiple ribbons in our classes and had fun doing it.\u00a0 As well as our riding classes, we earned ribbons in judging and general knowledge.\u00a0 We also got to experience parts of the fair. There\u2019s no doubt that many memories were made! It\u2019s safe to say by the end of the weekend everyone including the horses were exhausted. Go Team Maine!!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0<em>Liz B.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

Sparks give youth energy, joy, and purpose\u2014and when volunteers help identify them, youth thrive! While sparks are self-discovered and self-identified, volunteers can assist by introducing youth to new topics and exposing them to new experiences. A 4-H &#8220;spark&#8221; differs from a typical hobby by focusing on a deeper sense of purpose and contribution, while a hobby is primarily a leisure activity pursued for personal pleasure.
