4-H
Jefferson County 4-H Horse Program

Kids and horses - it's a great combination! Just ask any of more than

200 4-H members who are involved in a 4-H horse club in Jefferson County and they'll tell you, joining a 4-H horse club is a great way to learn more about your horse and have fun while learning.

The horse clubs sponsor year-round activities, events and teams for club members. There are horse shows, horse drill teams, horse bowl teams, horse camps, horse clinics, horse arts and crafts, and even a speech and demonstration competition about horses. You can pick and choose what you would like to do.

Owning a horse is not a requirement to participate in the 4-H Horse Program. Many members lease horses to show, or they may participate in the many other non-horse activities.

To find out more about joining a 4-H horse club that is right for you, contact Willie Howard, 4-H Youth Development Agent, at 569-2344 ext 126.
