4-H Horse projects and activities provide an interactive, hands-on way for youth to explore raising and showing horses while developing life skills. These projects are designed to provide you an opportunity to handle, care for, and ride horses, as well as learn about the equine industry. 4-H members may own or lease a horse for this project. Many activities do not require the member to own a horse. There are many ways you can get involved:
- Join a club near you and enroll in a 4-H horse project.
- Speak up and compete in the 4-H Horse Speaking Contest.
- Practice riding and compete in a 4-H Horse Show.
If you would like more information about 4-H, contact the University of Illinois Extension, LaSalle County Office at 815-433-0707.
If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate please contact us at 815-433-0707.
