Activities and Events
Horse Club Meet & Greets
Our "Meet & Greet" workshops are a great way for county horse club members to get to know each other and learn about one or two aspects of horsemanship from guest presenters. They are a great way to meet others and integrate program material into your club meetings!
- Information for the next 2022 Meet & Greet coming soon!
County Circuit Horse Shows
These horse shows are an opportunity for 4-H members to demonstrate what they have been working on in their club and in the ring. Western, English, and non-riding classes are available to all ages and breeds of horse. The shows are typically held three times a year with an annual banquet held in the late fall. The shows are open to 4-H members and non-members alike - so invite your barn friends and family!
