3 HORSE PROJECT LEADER INFOR- MATION: DID YOU KNOW? For horse project support I d recommend your new leader check out the 4-H project link on our web page for horses at this link projects3.htm#horses There are tons of free resources to help them get started. The Youth Leaders Manual notes book is still current. It supposed to be a check out item cause it costs about $50 to replace. Leaders can make copies of the worksheets. Let me know if you want an copy of the manual and I ll send you one. The most current horse project leader help guide (these are lesson plans) is available as a CD from Extension publications as LG1470 for $4. Or you can burn a copy to give your leader by going to the S: drive, look under the projects folder; then go to horse modules. I d burn the pdf version for the CD to give to your leader. Rather than buying an Every time every ride video check out these from the internet. I think they ll accomplish the same outcome. q=every+time+every+ride&rls=com.mi crosoft:en-us&ie=utf-8&oe=utf- 8&startIndex=&startPage=1 Hope this helps get you started.
