FULTON COUNTY
HORSE & PONY 4-H CLUB
Leader:  Darla Greer 574-653-2848

The Horse & Pony Club is a great way for kids to show off their horse or pony.   While having fun hanging out at the barn, making new friends and maybe having a water fight or two (SSSHHHHH!!), the members learn about horses in every way from grooming to nutrition.   Don't have your own horse or pony?  You may join with a leased horse or pony just the same.  Click HERE to see how much fun it can be!

To enroll in the Horse & Pony 4-H Club, members must be in 3rd grade or higher, in the same year of the fair (must be in 3rd grade during the 2007-2008 school year to be eligible for the 2008 4-H fair).  Members in grades 1st & 2nd are eligible for Exploring 4-H.  Exploring members are only able to handle animals with an adult assisting.   For more information about Exploring 4-H, in Horse & Pony, please click HERE or click on the Exploring 4-H button below.

The Horse & Pony Club meets the second Tuesday of each month, at 6:45 p.m., starting January 08, 2008 and continues until fair time (July).  To show during the Fulton County Fair, each member is required to attend 3 meetings, present a demonstration (more details at the meeting), be enrolled before May 1st and attend atleast 2 workshops.  To complete their Horse & Pony project, each member MUST show their own horse/pony in a halter class, during fair week and complete their record sheets.

It is recommended, but not required, each member participate in the Horse & Pony Club fundraisers, clean-ups and work in the concessions during the open pleasure &  halter show that our club hosts.  Clean-ups involve picking up trash after shows.  Clean-ups are held on the first Monday after each show.  Parents are welcome too.  To plan for clean-ups, please see SHOWS for scheduled events.

Extracurricular activites are an option for each member to gain more knowledge about horses.  Some of those include Judging, Groom & Clean, Horse Bowl and Hippology.   Members work together as teams and/or on an individual basis.  See ACTIVITIES for more information.

If you are considering joining the Fulton County 4-H Horse & Pony Club, please attend a meeting held on the second Tuesday of each month (before May) or contact the club leader, Darla Greer, at 574-653-2848.
