Clubs

There are different clubs that young horsemen can be a part of.  4-H and Pony Club are two of the most popular clubs.

Pony Club's mission is "The United States Pony Clubs, Inc., develops character, leadership, confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports." Their core values are:
  • Horsemanship
  • Organized Teamwork
  • Respect
  • Service
  • Education
4-H is another exceptional club for a person interested in horses to be a part of.  In fact, one does not even need a horse to take a horse in 4-H.  They have a project known as a horseless-horse.  A young person can learn all about animals by taking 4-H.  Their motto is " To make the best, better."

I personally was in 4-H for 14 years.  It was an awesome opportunity for me.  I met many great people and learned much more about horses.  I would recommend anyone to be part of 4-H, whether it be with horses or not.
