Ohio 4-H Horse Update ~ 2024   Changes for Ohio 4-H Horse Projects

EquiSTEP – Equine Safety Course Requirement (Counts for Horse Q.A.)

  • Available online at EquiSTEP   
  • Each participant will need their own unique email address and most school email accounts will
    block messages from outside of the school district.  If a member has previously enrolled in EquiSTEP, they will not need to re-enroll
  • Defiance County 4-H horse projects must complete by June 1, 2024.
  • This course counts for the Horse Quality Assurance Requirement.  If taking another animal project, must complete Livestock Quality Assurance.
  • The 3 most common errors why the certificate is not received are 1) the person types their own email address incorrectly, 2) they select the wrong county from the dropdown box so the certificate is sent to the wrong county email inbox, and 3) the person does not click on the submit button/arrow when they are done and exits out of the survey.
