The CA 4-H State Horse Classic takes place August 2-7, 2016 at Murieta Equestrian Center in Rancho Murieta, CA.
The date and location of the 4-H Equine Field Day are TBD.
The Equine Planning Team is responsible for planning, conducting, and over-seeing both the Equine Field Day and the Horse Classic. 4-H Members, Adult Volunteers, and 4-H Staff are encouraged to apply. Conference calls will be held every three-four weeks and a working dinner will take place on August 2, 2016. For the Horse Classic, the team will be broken into 4 sub-teams: Education, Western, English, and Gymkhana.

Each sub-team will consist of 3-4 volunteers and the entire team will consist of 10-12 members. Resumes MUST be uploaded for your application to be considered.
