A New 4-H Horse Club in Freedom, NH
Gail Straw of Mishawum Farm in Freedom, NH is a new 4-H Horse leader in Carroll County.
The first club meeting was June 25th at Mishawum Farm. The 4-H horse program is for boys
and girls age 8 to 18 that are interested in horses and would like to learn more about them.
You do not have to own a horse to join.
The purpose of the 4-H Horse Project is to help you learn how to care for and use your horse
correctly. Through the 4-H Horse Project, you can increase your knowledge and improve
your horsemanship skills by learning basic handling principles.
As a member in the 4-H Horse Project, you are expected to learn about your own horse, and
horse breeds, safety, body colors, health, markings, care and how to determine a horse’s
age. Furthermore, you will learn about shelter, grooming, training, judging, equipment,
saddling and bridling, basic horsemanship and showing techniques.
A good horsewoman or horseman is able to self train in addition to training horses. You will
develop respect for your horse, responsibility in caring for your horse and discipline in the
way you handle horses. You also will develop patience in training, neatness in your own and
your horse’s appearance, and pride in yourself.
You can participate in several activities through the 4-H Horse Project including western and
English riding, horse safety, horse judging, horse bowl, horse demonstration, horse public
speaking, hippology, and, for members without a horse, horseless projects. Once enrolled in
the horse project, you can choose any or all of these options.
