Horse projects for Pennsylvania 4-H youth are offered in four areas of interest, including a project for youth who do not own horse

Performance/Horsemanship (Level 1, Levels 2-5)

Youth select and care for a horse or pony and keep a record of all activities with their horse at each level.

Production

• Youth in production projects breed a mare and/or raise and handle young horses up to four years of age.
• Records are kept for each animal enrolled in the project.

Competitive Trail Riding

• Youth learn to select and condition a horse for competitive trail riding.
• Youth maintain records on project horses and record trail riding experiences.

Horseless

• This project is for youth who do not own horses, but want to learn more about them.
• There are many opportunities for horseless members such as the safety and horsemanship skills programs, horse judging, hippology, horse bowl, skill-a-thon and communications contests, and much more!
