The
4-H Horse Program is one of the most exciting and enjoyable
facets of Georgia 4-H, a youth development program offered
by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences. The Cooperative Extension Service has faculty housed
in all of Georgia's 159 counties, and you can obtain information
in your county pertaining to the 4-H Horse Program as well
as other exciting educational opportunities.
The
statewide 4-H Horse Program is coordinated by Heather K. Shultz
and is a cooperative effort of the 4-H and Youth Department
and the Animal and Dairy Science Department. Competitive events
include the State 4-H Horse Show, statewide 4-H Horse Judging
competitions and 4-H Quiz Bowls. Educational learning opportunities
are offered at 4-H Horse School, Volunteer Leader training
and a variety of other workshops and clinics.
Each
county in Georgia can supply you with information about these
programs; however not every county in Georgia has an organized
4-H Horse Club. Many counties do offer a 4-H Horse club for
their 4-H'ers interested in equine-related programs and information.
The schedule and activities in the county 4-H horse clubs
are not governed by the State 4-H office and will differ from
county to county.

The
Georgia Cooperative Extension Service offers delivery of these
programs in the county in which you live. Please
contact
your local county extension agent
for specific information.
