4-H Horse Council Meeting
The next meeting is
Monday, June 3, 2013 - 7:00 pm
Lincoln County Fairgrounds.
(Meeting room in the Main Building.)
We have scheduled a
4-H Horse Clinic on June 15th
for Lincoln & Adams 4-H Horse Project Members
and the
Summer Sizzler 4H Horse Show for June 22nd
for Lincoln & Adams 4-H Horse Project Members
This is also the WA State 4-H Fair equine performance & western games qualifying show for Lincoln and Adams Co. 4-H Intermediate and Senior 4-H members.
(NOTE - Even though ID Commitment Forms were due April 1 - for any planning to try for State Fair Qualification - the horse(s) you hope to use MUST have been under your care & management from March 25th or earlier. This is WA State 4-H Policy.)
Due to scheduling conflicts, the May face-to-face Horse Council meeting was cancelled. An "e-mail" meeting was conducted with those that have been regularly attending meetings.
4-H Horse Council Meetings are a chance to take an active part in the Horse Leaders Council. Come and let us know what you would like to see in the program!
If you are interested, be sure and attend the next meeting or at least let us know that you would like to contribute input!
Remember meetings are open to all 4H Horse Leaders and teen members! If you are interested in being a part of the Horse Leaders Council…Please come!!! We are looking for new ideas and input for the Horse Program. Come let us know what your members want to learn!!
See you there!

Lincoln-Adams 4-H Horse Project Enrollment
April 1, 2013 was the deadline for Horse Project enrollment and Horse ID submittel in order to be eligible for 4-H horse competition in Lincoln Co. This includes Adams Co. members interested in the Summer Sizzler Show (and State Fair.)
It is still permissable to enroll in 4-H and in the 4-H horse project at any time - HOWEVER - most CLUBS have closed horse enrollment for the year. Also - late enrollment does not guarentee eligibilty for competition. Lincoln & East Adams County WA residents with questions about enrollment can contact Karen in the WSU Extension Office (Ritzville) at 509-659-3209.
