"This was a pilot project initiated by the Belgian Breeders Association with support from the Alberta Heavy Horse Breeders," says Henry Wiegman, Alberta Agriculture 4-H livestock specialist. "Among their goals are establishing an industry based heavy horse 4-H project and enabling 4-H members to gain an understanding of the heavy horse ; Through the program a senior 4-H member obtains, raises and sells a heavy horse. Along the way members learn the responsibility of caring for a young horse as well the specifics of care, feeding, breeding, management, health requirements and economics of raising a draft horse. "The project fits into the objectives of a young horse 4-H project," adds Wiegman. In the 1990-91 project, members leased a foal from a breeder, raised it, prepared it for sale and auctioned it last month at the annual summer Alberta draft horse sale in Lacombe.
