Horse Project
The Lincoln County 4-H Horse Project (LCHP) group was formed by volunteers interested in supporting the 4-H Horse project activities. LCHP serves as the group that is willing to provide expertise, leadership and support participation of youth and adults working with horses. LCHP will serve as the planning and coordinating group for countywide 4-H Horse project activities, events and the 4-H Horse Show at the fair. Learning about horses and having fun together is what the group is all about.
Membership is open to and includes all currently enrolled 4-H horse project members, adult leaders , and parents or guardians. The LCHP is part of the 4-H program in general, and specifically, the Lincoln County 4-H program. As such, the policies and guidelines of the Wisconsin and the Lincoln County 4-H program apply to the LCHP. LCHP Constitution and Bylaws as of Nov 21 2011
Beginning with the 2008-09 project year, the Lincoln County Horse Project has decided to set up a required point system. The goal of this point system is for all fair horse exhibitors (4-H, FFA and other youth) to become involved with the horse group and the efforts to carry out the educational program and show(s). Please click on this link for an explanation of the current point system: LCHP Required Point Description Revised as of Nov 21 2011
