October and November is the start of the 4-H enrollment season so NOW is the time to join! The 4-H Horse Program offers a State 4-H Championship Horse and Pony Show at the end of the year in September for ages 9-18 in various disciplines including Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage, Western, Ranch, Miniatures, and Gaited, plus Trail classes for all disciplines and Drill Team! Qualifying shows happen in the spring and throughout the year you can learn more about horses by competing in knowledge contests as well such as hippology, horse bowl, horse judging and speaking contests. 4-H is family inclusive and does not have a membership fee to join. Projects are available to those in the family with other interests. 4-H provides a large variety of educational learning opportunities and experiences. Leadership, citizenship, and life skills are taught through learn-by-doing projects, local club programs, and 4-H camps, as well as at county, district, state, and national events. If you're interested in joining 4-H, contact your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office at https://ext.vt.edu/offices.html and ask about the 4-H program. For more information about the 4-H Horse Program contact Sandy Arnold, Animal Science Extension Associate, at horse4h@vt.edu.
