Welcome to the 4-H Young Horse Project
Congratulations on having successfully completed the mandatory Horsemanship Project Levels 1-3. You now have basics that will be important for the successful completion of the Young Horse Project. We hope you will have a fantastic year developing new skills and teaching your project horse new things as you continue to develop your horse knowledge and experience.
What is considered a ‘young horse’?
This project is here to help you teach and train the horse that has had no real ‘schooling’. The young horse project is developed for a weanling, yearling or two to three year old animal. However, this project is not necessarily restricted to a certain ‘age’ of horse, rather it is the amount of training or handling that determines whether you are eligible to take part in the Young Horse Project. If you have a horse that is five years old, but has never been handled, then the Young Horse project is for you. As well, if you have a weanling (a horse that has been separated from its mother), then the Young Horse Project is for you.
This manual should guide your training of the young horse so that both you and your horse have a successful year.
