LOVE FOR HORSES CAN WIN 4-H SCHOLARSHIPS Six 4-H equestrians this year will be riding their horses right up to the threshold of higher education. They will be the 1969 winners of S6OO national scholarships awarded in the 4-H horse program. Fifty, one from each state, will enjoy the excitment of being delegates to the 48th National 4-H Congress in Chicago the week following Thanksgiving. They will be state champions whose award is a trip to the annual event. There also may be a delegate from Puerto Rico where 4-H clubs are flourishing under the direction of the Cooperative Extension Service. Horse ownership among 4-H---’ers has kept pace with the soaring pleasure horse population throughout the United States. Well over 210,000 boys and girls enrolled in the 4-H horse program work with one or more horses. The program was made possible by the Extension Service and Merck and Co., Inc. First offered in 1966, guidelines were established by the Extension Service and financial support came from Merck, which provides funds for national, state and county awards. To earn an award, the 4-H’ers fulfill certain requirements. They must have “horse sense” and know about “horse science.’ .In their work with horses they learn the importance of balanced rations, health and sanitation. They are taught to ride properly, train and show their horses. Preparations are underway now to stage 4-H horse shows. In the show ring the youngsters demonstrate horsemanship before the discerning eyes of the judges. They also s learn to be pretty good judges of horseflesh themselves. In addition to the top state and national awards, county medals of honor will be presented again this year. Based on 1968 nationwide figures, an estimated 8,000 horse club members may earn a medal. Boys and girls between 9 and 19 years old interested in joining a 4-H horse club can get the details from the County Extension office.
