GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CENTAURS 4-H CLUB
As an equestrian-based club, the Centaurs
4-H Club's educational goals and objectives
include the following: Develop leadership
abilities, build character, and assume
citizenship responsibilities; Experience the
pride of owning or leasing a horse or pony
and to be responsible for its management;
Develop an appreciation of horseback
riding as a healthy and wholesome form of
recreation; Learn skills in horsemanship and
an understanding of the business of
breeding, raising, and training horses;
Increase the knowledge of safety
precautions needed to prevent injury to
themselves, others, and their mounts;
Promote a greater love for animals and a
humane attitude toward them; Be better
prepared for citizenship by working in
groups and supporting community horse
projects and activities; Teach good
sportsmanship through a friendly,
competitive atmosphere; and Promote
future horse industry development and
expansion.
You do not need to own or lease a horse to
be a Club member. There is a Horseless
Horse project which can be carried by
those Club members who do not own a
horse. If you have a love for horses, then
the Centaurs 4-H Club has something
special to offer.
Ride and Learn with the Centaurs!
