Roane County 4-H Horse Club

05/31/2026

Roane County 4-H Horse Club did a fantastic job at this past weekend's 4-H Eastern regional horse show. Several took championship ribbons! These kids put in the time to prepare and it shows!

We are state-bound! Still looking for sponsors/donors to help these kids meet expense needs for the state show. Feel free to send a message to find out how you can help!

Our 4-H kiddos are heading to the 4-H state show in Shelbyville in June and need your support!

These kids work hard all year round to have the opportunity to show their hard work with their horses off at the state show in Shelbyville. We have several first-timers this year.

Showing horses is not an inexpensive endeavor. Our club kiddos and parents have worked hard to fundraise this year and have been very successful in raising the funds to cover all show fees for this entire show season! Woohoo!!! 🎉

However, traveling expenses always outweigh the actual show fees for this particular show.

Please consider donating to our club. Info is on the flyer! Your help is greatly appreciated and helps to make lifelong memories happen for these kids 🤗

Huge thank you to the Mendoza family, the Alonzo family and the West family for coming together and volunteering to help clean and prepare the barn at Roane State expo for the upcoming fair! When we come together, we are able to make large tasks into much lighter work! Thank you all so much!

Our next meeting will be May 12th at 5:00 p.m. at the extension office. We will use this meeting time and space to fill out regional and state horse show entry forms. Hope to see you there!

Here is the link where you can find info on both shows.

Super proud of these kids today at the Eastern region 4-H horse judging contest! Each one of them did an excellent job! Personal goals were met and personal growth were made today!

An amazing benefit for this year was that we made so many new friends while collaborating with Rhea County, Knox County, Hancock County, and Bledsoe County! When we all come together as a tribe, great things happen!

Our judging teams had a great evening yesterday learning all things ranch riding! Special thanks to Denise Sims and Bethany Sims with Dreaming Big Equestrian team for coming to help coach and for bringing horses and riders.
Special thanks also to Dian Martin and John Everett Martin for helping our kiddos with oral reasons. It takes a village and when counties can come together to collaborate we are able to make big things happen! We are always grateful to Roane State Expo for their partnership and support for 4-H which helps to make these practices happen! Thank you everyone!
