2008 State 4-H Horse School - June 15-19, 2008 Perry, GA

The Georgia State 4-H Horse School is held each year the week following the State 4-H Horse Show in Perry, Georgia at the Agricenter. 4-H'ers and their horses enjoy 5 days and 4 nights of resident instruction. Professional riding instructors offer classes in Stock Seat (Western), English Hunt Seat on the Flat, English Hunt Seat Over Fences, English Saddleseat and Contest Events (Running) at all levels.

Approximately 12 4-H'ers aged 10-19 in 10 divisions are accepted each year for a total of about 120 4-H'ers. In addition about 20 Teen leaders, who do not bring horses to the school, assist with the program. University of Georgia Extension Specialists, County Extension Agents, and Adult volunteers provide adult leadership for this program.

The cost is $300 for the week and includes all meals and lodging for the 4-H'er, stalling for the horse, registration fees and a Horse School t-shirt.

Applications are due April 25th and can be obtained from your local county Extension office or below.

Each year at 4-H Horse School we give a very special award - a real live horse! Applications are submitted and a committee of specialists, agents, volunteers, and 4-Hers select the recipient based on 4-H activities, need for the horse, and other criteria.
