Horse projects for Pennsylvania 4-H youth are offered in four areas of interest, including a project for youth who do not own horses:
Performance/Horsemanship (Level 1, Levels 2-5)
Youth select and care for a horse or pony and keep a record of all activities with their horse at each level.
Production
- Youth in production projects breed a mare and/or raise and handle young horses up to four years of age.
- Records are kept for each animal enrolled in the project.
Competitive Trail Riding
- Youth learn to select and condition a horse for competitive trail riding.
- Youth maintain records on project horses and record trail riding experiences.
Horseless
- This project is for youth who do not own horses, but want to learn more about them.
- There are many opportunities for horseless members such as the safety and horsemanship skills programs, horse judging, hippology, horse bowl, skill-a-thon and communications contests, and much more!
