Horses and humans interact in many ways, not only in a wide variety of sports and non-competitive recreational pursuits, but in activities like agriculture, entertainment, assisted learning and therapy.
In horse projects, 4-H members:
- Appreciate riding as a recreation; and promote love and humane treatment of animals.
- Learn horsemanship skills and understand equestrian breeding, training and raising.
- Acquire safety skills to prevent injury to persons and animals.
