Success StoryBringing back the Successful Area-Wide Horse Judging for West Kentucky 4-H Youth



Bringing back the Successful Area-Wide Horse Judging for West Kentucky 4-H Youth

Author: Katie Mills

Planning Unit: Christian County CES

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Issue:

The pandemic made many changes throughout the 4-H program, one main one being that connections and opportunities suffered because people were not able to leave their houses. Programs converted to virtual making it difficult to reach all youth because not all had access to internet. This also caused some programs to be paused due to lack of attendance. One of the programs that was paused was the Area-wide Horse Judging Clinic, but the time had finally came to bring the program back and help bringing energy back into the regional and state 4-H Horse activities.
