We are excited about the Horse program in our county. The horse project allows youth the oppourtunity to learn about responsibility, animal care, team work, training and teaching skills, nutrition, communication and so much more! 4-H is all bout raising kids, not horses

In our 4-H Horse Program we encourage participation in a wide range of activities.  Along with our shows(which are covered below) we suggest participation in Public Speaking Demonstrations, Portfolios (record books), service projects, and fun.  
 

Horse Shows

We host four point counting horse shows throughout the year. Starting our first show in May and having one each month for three conscuitive months. At each show, participants will take a written test and participate in all western events.
