Hardin Co. 4H Horse Program

07/28/2026

Hey everyone!
This was a great year and we are so happy with all the support and participation we had. That being said, we want to hear from all of you!
Do you have any suggestions or proposals for future classes?
Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve on the county fair horse show?
How does everyone feel about awards at the fair? Should we continue doing the additive Grand Champion awards to accompany the banners or just banners?
If you don't feel comfortable commenting on this thread please reach out to Martha M Steding or McKenzie or your thoughts. Let's try and keep things positive, however we do appreciate your input!
