About Clark County 4-H Horse Leaders Association

Our Organization

We are volunteer 4-H leaders of the Clark County horse program that come together to share input, ideas, fundraise, and evangelize the value of 4-H to our community. It is open to any 4-H member who would like to be more involved in the Horse program. The Horse Leaders Association has been responsible for instituting new awards and changes in rules.

Our Mission

That every 4-H member derives all the enjoyment and benefits possible as a result of participating in meetings, clinics and other educational programs provided through 4-H. We promote continuous growth in programs fostering horsemanship education, initiative, self reliance, sportsmanship and other desirable traits of character.

Benefits for our 4-H members:

Experience the pride and responsibilities associated with the care, feeding, management and health of the animal.
A greater love for animals and to establish a humane attitude toward them.
Understanding of safety precautions to prevent injuries to themselves, their mounts and others.
Skills in horsemanship and an understanding of the business of breeding, raising and training horses.
Appreciate horseback riding as a healthy and wholesome form of recreation as well as to stimulate appreciation and conservation of our responsibilities through working in groups and supporting community horse projects and activities.
Participation by all 4H members desiring to participate regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status or family status.
