State Horse Volunteer Training

As the new 4-H year is now underway, I would like to send out a reminder that our Equine 4-H Advisor/Volunteer Training Session will be held on Jan 28. This session will include updates for the 2012 4-H Horse Program in addition to various presentations on horse management topics that will be useful to 4-H advisors, educators, and horse owners. The registration deadline is Jan. 15 and more information can be found at horse.osu.edu under calendar of events. Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested in attending. – From Dr. Kim Cole
