I wanted to reach out and remind everyone that this year’s State 4-H Horse Advisor/Volunteer Training will be held virtually via OSU Scarlet. Modules of content to explore will be open from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 28 through 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 31. There will also be an optional Q&A Zoom meeting Saturday, January 30 from 10-12 pm. We are excited to say that there are many new changes to the Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows and are encouraging our extension professionals to reach out to your county horse committees and ask them to participate online to become more aware of what those changes look like. Mainly the advent of new scoring systems for pattern classes and the expansion of our ranch horse division to now include a separate showmanship and horsemanship class. Registration is required, although there is no cost to participate. Information can be found online at https://ohio4h.org/events/virtual-state-4-h-horse-advisorvolunteer-training-session including an event schedule. Please share with all your equine advisors and volunteers. Extension professionals are also welcomed. If you have any questions, please email cole.436@osu.edu or stutzman.34@osu.edu
Best,
Duane
