Horse and Swine Projects

 Dear Club Members, 

We want to share with you that we have begun to work on planning project meetings and have updated the calendar with horse and swine project meeting dates. 

Please be sure to add our google calendar to your phones calendar to be in sync with club happenings.

Here is a link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=Y291bnRyeWtpY2tlcnM0aEBnbWFpbC5jb20

We want club members to attend project meetings because these meetings are where members gain hands-on experience, build skills, and make progress in their projects. Regular attendance helps members:

• Learn new knowledge and techniques related to their project area.
• Complete project requirements and prepare for exhibits, contests, presentations, county fair, and horse shows.
• Receive guidance from leaders, volunteers, and experienced members.
• Share ideas and learn from other members.
• Develop important life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, communication, and leadership.
• Build friendships and strengthen their connection to the club.

In addition, our current club bylaws require members to attend at least 50% of project meetings to be eligible to participate in the county fair and horse shows. This attendance requirement helps ensure that members are actively involved, learning project skills, and contributing to the success of the club.

Project meetings are an important part of the 4-H experience and provide the foundation for learning, growth, and achievement throughout the year.

If you have any questions do not hestiate to reach out. Have a great day! 

Project update

 Hello Club Members, 

I wanted to reach out to you all to keep you updated on what we will be looking at for the new 4-H year that begins Sept 1 through Oct 31. 

We are able to confirm that we will be offering the following projects with leaders: (meeting dates are being determined and will be posted as soon as those project leaders provide me dates) 

Horse - Erika and Emily 

Swine - Michelle, and Heidi offered to lend a hand 

Lamb/Goat - April (Savy's mom) has offered to help with this

Cloverbuds - Brittany

Outdoor Adventures ( Hiking stuff) - Brittany - nothing to crazy but a few times to get togehter when it cools down for some hikes suitable for all of our 4-H members. 

Needs: 

Small Stock Leader - (Rabbit/Poultry) 

Holstein calf - Only one member is interested so far but never raised one. So a leader would be ideal. 

In Progress: 

Cake Decorating - Cheyenne (Elloise's mom) is getting certified 

Welding - Randy (Ellosie's dad) is getting certified 

If anyone is interested in volunteering to help with these projects please reach out. Keep an eye out for us to be posting project meeting dates as they become available.

Thanks,

Horse Project Members - HAC is looking for suggestions for rulebook changes

  Dear 4-H Horse Families,

The Horse Advisory Committee (HAC) is currently accepting suggestions, edits, and proposed changes to the county horse rulebook. We encourage all families to take the time to carefully review the current rulebook and provide any feedback or recommendations you may have. Here is a link to the current county rulebook. Here is a link to the State Rulebook just for reference since we cannot change these rules.

Please keep in mind that many of our county rules align directly with the State 4-H Horse Rulebook, and those rules cannot be changed at the county level. However, there are several county-specific rules and procedures that may be reviewed and updated as needed.

We ask that all suggested changes be submitted to the HAC by July 15th. After that date, all submitted recommendations will be compiled into a formal document to be reviewed, discussed, and voted upon at the annual HAC meeting on August 15th by the newly elected Horse Advisory Board Committee. You may email your suggestions to pinalcounty4hhorse@gmail.com. 

Thank you for taking an active role in helping us continue to improve and strengthen our county horse program. We appreciate your support and involvement.

Best regards,

Pinal County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee
