 Fifteen 4-H members ranging in ages 8-18 showed their
riding skills in Western and English styles, their knowledge of
horses and teamwork.
The primary objective of the 4-H Horse project is to provide an
interactive, hands-on way for youth to explore raising and showing
horses while developing life skills. 4-H members have the
opportunity to handle, care for, and ride horses, as well as learn
about the equine industry.
The 4-H members that participated in the 2019 4-H Horse Show were:
Abigail Osterman, Madelynn Furkin, Avery Beck, John Walker, Mary
Brown, Kristina Hemberger, Madisyn Hanson, Regan Bartels, Kylee
Furbeck, Sarah Hemberger, Katherine Walker, Mabel Fleck, Megan
Nation, Ellie Mendenhall all of Sangamon County; Ruthie Ruhl and
Charlotte Toohill of Logan County.

“My daughter was so excited to participate today and to learn
from the older 4-Her’s,” said one participant’s parent. “She has had so much fun
spending time with her horse and learning what she needs to do to be successful
this year in the 4-H Horse Project.”
