£ 4 A Country Lifestyle • ;er was ooms, assed-in » J t '• ' ' titer- Set in the wooded hills of Bull Valley is the unusual home of John and Carol Krenger. Their love for horses is evident from the moment one turns into the winding driveway. A lighted outdoor arena that measures 100 by 200 feet is the first visible evidence of the life style of the people who live here. The combination house and barn is at the top of a hill with lovely views in all directions. When purchased by the Krengers, it was a barn with small apartment Three years ago an designed by Mr. Kre added to include two a bath and a large living area. Windows that go almost the height of the wall and well-placed skylights make the rooms extremely bright. The lightness of the living room makes it an ideal place to grow plants. Colorful hanging planters as well as unusual potted plants abound. An un conventional fireplace of red metal is hung from the ceiling. Rare prints of English hunting scenes cover one wall. On another wall is a large graphic that commands attention because of its vivid colors. It was the poster design for the 1972 Olympics held in Munich. An antique lamp with a green Tiffany shade hangs above a round white table in this area. Behind the living room area is a family room where a corner fireplace is the dominant feature. The mantel is hung with ribbons won this season by Asathor, a four year old stallion owned by the HOSPITAL NOTES McHENRY HOSPITAL Recent admittences to McHenry hospital who requested that their names be published included from McHenry: Phyllis A.

He is one of twelve German riding horses, known as Trakehners, which they own. At the end of the family room sliding glass doors lead to the new bedroom addition occupied by the two teenagers of the household. The kitchen is open to the family room across a long low counter. Set into the counter is a gas barbecue covered by a decorative hood. A yellow and brown color scheme has been used in this area. A rack con taining kitchen implements has been suspended from the ceiling. A window near the kitchen reveals an unusual view when its wooden shade is raised, an enclosed arena with a sand and shavings floor that is used in the training of the horses. Down the hallway from the kitchen, through the utility room, the back door opens directly into the barn. Stalls on either side of the long concrete aisle house the beautiful horses that are so much a part of the life of this family. One stall holds a two week old colt and its mother. Four foals are ex pected next year. Other horses may be seen in corrals outside of the barn. It is difficult to imagine how much the Krengers have learned about the care and breeding of horses in a few short years. When they moved to their farm, both were neophytes. Now they have championship horses. They are still learning by training with a German riding instructor who works with them and the horses. McHenry county is noted for the number of horses it has. According to Kenneth Fiske of the McHenry county Con servation district, the county ranks second or third among all counties in the United States. There are approximately 60,000 pleasure horses in the county according to a survey made by the Horsemen's association. A visitor to the Krenger home on Holiday Hospitality day will have the opportunity to see a working horse farm. Hospitality day will be held Wednesday, Oct. 5, and is sponsored by the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial hospital for McHenry county. Two of the major projects of the auxiliary are the purchase of equipment for the hospital and the gran ting of nursing scholarships.

In Illinois alone, there are over 79,000 members enrolled in over 4,000 clubs. In addition, there are thousands of 4-H members involved in short- term programs such as nutrition clubs. The 4-H club is a group of at least five young people of 4-H age and an adult leader who meet together as a sustained extension educational program for at least six sessions. The meetings are run by club of ficers-members elect their own officers and plan the club's activities.
