OZAUKEE COUNTY HORSE & PONY PROJECT (OCHPP)

What you can do in this project?

The Ozaukee County 4-H Horse program offers young people many different types of opportunities to learn all about horses from caring volunteer adult 4-H leaders.  These opportunities include education meetings, state education competitions, and horse shows. There are two distinct projects that young people may choose from depending on their interests and commitment level. These projects include the 4-H Horse and Pony Project and 4-H Horseless Horse Project.  Some things you will learn regardless of the project you pick are: the care of horses, the care of horse equipment, the types of shows and entries one can do with horses.
