What is 4-H?
4-H is a national organization which helps young people develop knowledge and skills to become productive citizens. 4-H also helps youth to meet the diversities and challenges of today's society and brings together youth and adults to design programs that will teach skills for living. 4-H upholds the theme of "learning by doing." It reaches people in their own neighborhoods with delivery methods suitable to their needs. 4-H also helps provide a stronger bond between family members. The 4-H program is a voluntary, non-formal, educational program offered to all boys and girls regardless of race, color, national origin, place of residence, or handicap.

What is 4H Connect and How Do I use it?
4-H Connect is a fairly new tool for 4-H. Not only is it where you register and renew your 4-H Membership, but it also tracks your participation and activities in 4-H. Everyone in Hoofpicks needs to make sure you keep your information up to date. For full information and how to use 4-H Connect click here.If I don't have a horse can I still participate in the club and events?
Sure you can. Come to our monthly meeting to experience what the club is about. Horse judging is a great way to learn about horses and will even be a great resource to help you choose a horse when you are ready to be a horse owner yourself. Ask club members what else you can do as a horseless member - we love talking horses.
What's a "horse show"?
Hoofpicks hosts three fund raising horse shows each year. These shows are open to the public and basically competitive events from everything from mini horses on halters, English riding events, to Barrel Racing. Visit our Shows link and download the showbill for full details of each show.
