Details: Calling all livestock and horse project youth! This interactive workshop is designed for youth who are competing in livestock or horse showing events. Participants will learn how to set SMART goals, build resilience within their animal project, develop responsibility, and master purposeful practice—all while having fun and connecting their growth to success in the show ring. Through hands-on activities and engaging discussions, participants will discover how intentional actions, and a positive mindset can help them navigate the competitive world and will leave them with tools to help handle the struggles that can come with owning, training and showing an animal. Open to Salt Lake County 4-H or FFA youth who are 8 years old and in 3rd grade through 12th grade, registration will be through ZSuite.
