20) Other Comments/Info:
Because of the spread of Alaska, and the small number of people spread across a very large state. It is hard for us to get together, and unless you have e-mail, many people don't even realize what a large hobby the model horse hobby is. This club was started to bring together us alaskans and unite us in the model horse hobby. To teach people without the use of internet what IS out there in the hobby. And to introduce young people into the world of model horses. Model Horses are a great way to learn responsibility, team work, and TONS of social skills. We would like to educate people about the model horse and real horse world. And its a great way for people who don't have real horses, to have there own horses and to feel apart of the wondrous world of horses.
