No horse? No problem in 4-H Horseless Horse project
Young people who grow up caring for horses develop responsibility, respect for nature and growth in self esteem, not to mention appreciation for the pure joy of riding. Yet, keeping a horse can be a pricey undertaking. Many youth do not have the opportunity to ride, let alone own a horse. The 4-H program sought to fill this void and began a Horseless Horse project in Virginia some 30 years ago. Today the program is offered in 45 states. In Iowa, state 4-H ag program specialist Mike Anderson says it continues to grow in popularity.
