The Sevier County 4-H Horse Club gives youth the opportunity to learn, lead, and grow through their love of horses — whether they own a horse or not!
Our club focuses on developing horsemanship, leadership, and life skills in a fun, hands-on environment. Members learn about horse care, breeds, nutrition, anatomy, behavior, and safety while also building responsibility, confidence, and teamwork.
Throughout the year, members can participate in:
- 🏇 Educational Meetings & Clinics – Learn grooming, showmanship, and horse management skills.
- 💡 Horse Bowl & Hippology Contests – Test horse knowledge through fun, team-based competitions.
- 🏆 Judging & Speaking Events – Practice critical thinking and public speaking while learning to evaluate horses.
- 🤝 Community Service Projects – Give back to the community while promoting the 4-H motto: “To Make the Best Better.”
