I'm starting an actual Mini Horse 4-H

Good Luck to you, I had a 4-h club along time ago the kids were great! Kathy

Good luck and have fun!

I'm a 4H Leader of a Miniature Horse project. I love the kids and horses, I despise all the stinky meetings I have to go to!

Good luck and have fun! Somewhat local to me, there is a big 4H mini club w/ monthly miniature horse shows in Richmond, VA. They have halter, model, color, hunter, jumper, obstacle, driving, etc. I think the 4H group is called Varina Rising Stars.

Hey, me too!!

I am pretty excited about this, as I have never been the "leader-type", and feel like I am going out on a limb here...

We have never had Minis involved with 4H before, and I haven't been involved with 4H myself either...so this should be fun.

If anyone wishes to share their classes and program, please PM or email me, at [email protected].

Thanks!!

Good luck to you, Jess! If anybody's got the energy, smarts & "gumption" to do it, it's you!

[SIZE=14pt]If you want to get pointers for your club you can contact Tricia Bartoo who is the coordinator for the mini section of the 4h here , the Rising Stars. Her E mail is [email protected].[/SIZE]

The 4h added mini classes for my kids 15 years ago and that portion of the monthly open show is often bigger now than the English and Western divisions. They also got the State show to include mini classes for the kids here. Better than showing in driving against the purebred morgan and arab "ponies".My daughter Katie was the first mini owner to win the driving championship at state with her mini Sweetwaters Lil Fantastic. "Big Fancy".

I too am a 4-H leader running a club for several years. It's alot of fun and rewarding to know you are offering a good program for local youth. Not to mention promoting miniatures! Our club's focus is fun, fun, fun fun!! 4-H's for us! We show, do community work, projects & more. We have a large, active membership of 15-20 kids & run year round. Have a ton of fun with your new club!

It's great to hear that there are other mini clubs running in Canada. I'll be in touch!!

Great. I'm have help start 2 miniature 4-H clubs here in NH and am presently still working with the second one. I have 9 kids now and 4 more new kids to join. This will be my 27th year as a 4-H leader. Let me know if you need any help or information that I can send to you. I'd be more than happy to help out. My club is all miniature horses and we have a great time together. Helping the kids is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and I enjoy them a great deal. This year my granddaughter will be old enough to join in the club. Keep up the good work.
