Coming Together to Strengthen Our 4-H Club

 Dear 4-H Families,

I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to take a moment to reach out about something important for the future of our club.

First, I want to say thank you to all of the families, volunteers, and especially our project leaders who dedicate so much of their personal time to our members. Our leaders spend countless hours preparing lessons, organizing trainings, planning meetings, and creating hands-on learning opportunities so our youth can grow, learn, and succeed. Their commitment to our club does not go unnoticed.

Over the past several months, it has been discouraging and frustrating to see low attendance numbers at both project meetings and club meetings. We understand that families are busy and schedules can be challenging, but participation is an important part of what makes a 4-H club successful and meaningful for everyone involved.

I also want to acknowledge my part in this. At the beginning of the year, I should have done a better job communicating and reviewing our club bylaws and attendance expectations with all families. Moving forward, I believe it is important that we revisit our club constitution and bylaws together as a club community. We need to have open discussions regarding attendance requirements, member expectations, and any amendments that may need to be made so that our bylaws continue to reflect the needs and goals of our club.

A 4-H club should be about much more than simply attending fair or exhibiting projects. It should be about learning responsibility, leadership, teamwork, service, commitment, and building relationships within our community. It is about showing up, supporting one another, participating in projects, and helping create a positive experience for all members — especially our younger youth who look up to the older members as role models.

Our club is strongest when families, members, volunteers, and leaders work together toward a common goal. I truly believe we can continue building a positive and successful club environment, but it will take communication, participation, and commitment from all of us.

Here is a link to our current bylaws: Current By Laws

Please review the bylaws and submit any recommended changes or amendments to countrykickers4h@gmail.com no later than July 15th. All proposed changes will be reviewed and voted on during our August 20th Community Club Meeting.

Thank you for your continued support of our club and our youth. I look forward to having these conversations together and working as a team to strengthen our 4-H community.

Sincerely,

Michelle Weese 

Community Club Leader

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!

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

Horseless Clinic Opportunity

Horseless Clinic

 The Horse Advisory Committee is very excited to host a clinic for any of our horse members that want to know what a judge looks for at a show!! 

When: February 4, 2026 @ 6pm

Where: Circle C Stables, 971 E. Ranch Road, Apache Junction. AZ 85119

Who: any registered Pinal county 4-H horse or horseless member 

RSVP is required : Click here please RSVP no later than February 2.

Horse do not come to this clinic. 

Details about what will be covered:

This session uses video and photos (equipment provided) to break down what judges are truly looking for during a class or ride—highlighting the elements that matter most versus details riders often stress over unnecessarily. We’ll explore how small, often overlooked details can impact placement and answer the common question: “Why did I place third?” 

By comparing what a rider feels in the moment to what is actually happening, participants will see firsthand how visual feedback improves awareness, accuracy, and overall performance. Seeing on video is a powerful tool for understanding execution, refining technique, and gaining a competitive edge.



We hope to see so many of our horse members there!!


Tuesday, January 6, 2026

⏰ Last Call Coming Soon! ⏰

 

Registration for the January 16 Sorting Event closes in 5 days!
Make sure to get signed up before it’s too late. See you there, 4-H horse families!
