The San Diego County Horse Advisory Committee is comprised of youth and volunteers with an interest in equine education. The purpose of the committee includes the following:
- Represent the interests of equine activities and programs throughout the San Diego County
- Organize and implement the 4-H Equine Educational Contests
- To increase general equine awareness and educational opportunities
- Establish direction for county equine programs and identify opportunities for youth interested in the program
- Develop and maintain a budget for San Diego County equine events, including fundraising plans
- Gather input on program direction, events, educational opportunities and other matters pertaining to the San Diego County equine program
- To locate, review, and make recommendations on equine educational materials
- Seek collaborative opportunities with other groups or organizations as appropriate
Owning a horse is not a requirement to participate in the 4-H Horse Program. Many members lease horses to show, or they may participate in the many other non-horse activities. To find out more about joining a 4-H horse club that is right for you, contact the San Diego County 4-H Office.
