Horse Jamboree
Many of you have asked when the Jamboree will be scheduled - as of yet we do not have a date however it will likely be held in late March or early April. More to follow on that!
the jamboree consists of many events - Hippology, quiz bowl, speech, presentations, posters, photographs, and others
We will start our preparation at least 2 months prior to the date set for the jamboree so tentatively Mid to late January
remember to invite your 4H friends to this - even if they don't want to compete - it is still a great place to learn more about horses!!
