4H New Hampshire youth program
At Deerfield Fair, I met up with some of the youth educators who were leaders when daughter Emmie was in the 4-H Horse Program in the late 80’s/early 90’s. They are still going strong and helping young people all over the state of New Hampshire, not only through involvement with horses but in all sorts of other club-oriented activities and friendly competition, such as dog-related, clothing and textiles, goats and sheep, dairy, working steer, and animal science study.

A warm thank you to Lynn, Conrad, Brian and all the rest, both staff and volunteers, for helping our daughters and sons along the road of life, and for everything you do in your selfless service.
From personal experience I can tell you the extensive 4-H Horse Program remains excellent. 4-H offers great FREE opportunities and character- and leadership-building activities to children ages 5-18, whether they own their own horses/animals or not. The 4-Hers participate in Fairs at county, state, and regional levels. (I am quite pleased to see driving and reinsmanship programs now being included in the Horse Shows and Activities.)
