The Horse & Pony project helps 4-H members develop leadership, initiative, self‑reliance and sportsmanship. An important objective of this project is for the 4-H member to experience the pride of owning a horse or pony and being responsible for its management. The 4-H Horse & Pony project will help members develop an appreciation of horseback riding as a healthy and wholesome form of recreation. Members taking this project must be members of the Carroll County Young Wranglers, Horse & Pony Club.
