4-H Horse Curriculum

The recommended set of National 4-H Horse curriculum was revised! Complete Curriculum set: http://www.4-hmall.org/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=01518BB

Each 4-H Horse household should consider ordering a set! If you have a set or the National 4-H Horse Curriculum with tan covers – then you have the old version. If you ordered recently – and your covers are blue, then you have the latest!

There is also a “Bundled” set that includes a Horse Bingo game!  This set might be a good option for a “club owned set”!
