Master Horseman
The Master Horseman Project is designed as a tool for 4-H members to learn about horse care and handling, and the equine industry in general. Completing hands-on activities helps develop skills not only in horsemanship and equine handling, but also in leadership, communication, decision-making and personal management.
The steps involved in completing the series of three manuals (Novice, Intermediate, and Master Horseman) allow the 4-H member to learn safety precautions related to horse handling, horsemanship skills, proper care, and responsibility, as each member is required to participate in the daily handling and management of the project horse or pony.
