The new 4-H Horse Club in Graves County is providing opportunities for youth to learn more about horses while meeting new friends and caring adults. Over 40 members have enrolled in the club and over half received their six hours of education to be able to compete in state-level events. Youth had many educational experiences including guest speakers, farm visits, riding clinics, hippology practices, and more to prepare them for the opportunities available through the 4-H Horse Program. Graves County has a large population of horse owners who desire horse-related educational events for youth, and we were proud to provide those options this year despite the challenges of COVID. Three of the youth will be advancing to State Horse Show and many have expressed interest in leasing or owning a horse before the next project year. We are excited to see this program grow and horse families invest in all the opportunities that the 4-H Horse program has to offer!
