4-H Horse Clinics: Spring Schedule

Horse Clinic Q&A

  • Who can participate?
    • Horse clinics are open to all 4-H horse exhibitors in Louisiana.
  • Are horses provided for youth?
    • No, youth must provide their own horse.
  • Can someone not in 4-H participate?
  • Can my child attend one clinic or do they have to attend all?
    • It's not required they attend all, but each clinic will build upon the previous clinics so it's recommended they attend as many as they can.
  • My child isn't interested in participating in the Horse Shows, but can they still participate in the clinics?
    • Yes, but keep in mind that some of the topics that will be covered are geared toward the events that are offered at the shows.
  • Who will be teaching the clinics?
    • Louisiana Master Horsemen leaders and volunteers
  • Who can I contact if I have any further questions?
    • Contact Mr. Perry Fontenot at 337-351-3844 or the St. Landry 4-H Office at 337-948-0561.
