Valley youths who love horses can meet with like-minded peers and learn more about their favorite animal through a 4-H club that gets together in North Bend.

The Sidekicks club meets at 5 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at the Mount Si Stables for a business meeting, and 1 to 4 p.m. on the third Sunday of the month for a mounted meeting.

4-H members learn to show their horses, and have a good time.

Sidekicks members Adrienne Barnhart, Laren McCallum and Kelly Barry said that if other young people love horses as much as they do, they should try out the group. Families don’t need to own a horse to participate.
