The 4-H Horse Program promotes knowledge of horsemanship, responsibility, ethical equine use, care, and management. Youth who participate in 4-H horse programs develop life skills that include leadership, responsibility, sportsmanship, teamwork, community service, a positive attitude, and a sense of self-worth. 4-H Horse Youth will engage in a wide variety of projects, contests and events. “Without our volunteers and Horse Leader Association, the Orange County Horse Program would not be successful and we are so thankful for countless hours that our volunteers provide to make this program thrive,” said Maggie Smith, 4-H Animal Science Manager. For more information, contact Smith at 344-1234.
