Project Description

This project is for all horse and pony lovers/owners. All members are required to attend regular Project Meetings which are held once a month. Project Meetings will include educational games and activities, along with project planning for field trips and fundraisers. The Mounted Meetings will be held the following Saturday and Sunday for ages 9 and older. Mounted Meetings are not a requirement but are there for hands on experiences with horses. Members share information on proper horsemanship, practice riding techniques, and host the occasional quest speaker. This project also does community services.
Age Range Age: 9 and above  Number of members: Min 3, no maximum
Minimum/Maximum Number of Participants Minimum 3/No Maximum
Meeting Dates Meetings are one day each month plus a mounted meeting on the Saturday following the regular meeting.  If you have a horse, this will also include daily care and feeding of your horse, cleaning his stall, occasional  washing and grooming.  And of course your horse would like to be ridden.

Competition and/or Showmanship In addition to caring for your pet, you will be expected to participate in Youth Expo and the Orange County Fair:
    YOUTH EXPO (a "learning fair" of 2-3 days)
        You can make a poster or display
        There is no opportunity to show your animal
    ORANGE COUNTY FAIR
        You may make a new poster or display, or use the one from Youth Expo
        Show your horse (optional)
            Riding competitions (your skill as a horseman is judged)
            Conformation (just your horse is judged)
       Your horse will live at the fairgrounds for that one weekend
Estimated Costs

Participation in the project is free. Owning a horse is not required but horse leasing is available for mounted meetings and prices will vary. All other costs are supported by project fundraisers. Fundraisers help our project pay for necessary project member and horse equipment, banners, signs, field trips, club shirts, and year end prizes. A member majority may vote on any other use of funds.
 

Each member must be equipped with the proper riding attire before the first mounted meeting. This includes riding boots, jeans, and a certified ASTM riding helmet.
