Noah McCowan was just calling it like he saw it.

“I thought the little horse was a dog,” said McCowan, a first-grade student in Lindsay McCowan’s class at Eastern Hills Christian School in Athens.

“Well,” TVCC agriculture instructor and rodeo coach Brent Bratton said with a smile, “he kinda does look like a little dog, doesn’t he?”

McCowan and his classmates had a fun, hands-on experience Monday when Bratton brought a group of TVCC Ranch Management students to the school. McCowan’s class was learning about agriculture and rodeo – a lesson that included studies ranging from cowboys and cowgirls to cattle and spurs.

The EHCS students also got to practice roping on a calf roping dummy.

Bratton said this was the second year he has brought his students to Eastern Hills. Last year they brought dairy calves to show the children.
