4-H Horse Program

The 4-H Horse Program focuses on equine selection, nutrition, management, riding, driving, recreation, fun, and horsemanship. Horseback riding and driving provides an outdoor sports fitness program for physical, personal, and emotional development - including confidence building. The sport can develop into a life-long hobby or business. Projects are available for youth owning or having access to horses - as well as youth not having access to horses. There are numerous educational activities and contests available to youth with and without access to horses.
