This is a friendly reminder that our Annual Pinal County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee Meeting will be held on:

 Saturday, August 15

This meeting is an important opportunity to help shape the future of the Pinal County 4-H Horse Program, and we encourage all current 4-H horse families to attend.

We are currently seeking Certified 4-H Volunteers who are interested in serving on the Horse Advisory Committee Board. All board positions are open, and each position carries a one-year term. If you are passionate about supporting our youth and helping grow the horse program, we would love to have you consider placing your name on the ballot.

The Advisory Committee plays a vital role in:

• Planning and hosting horse shows and sorting events
• Supporting county-wide horse opportunities for our members
• Building partnerships within the equine community

If you have connections to arena facilities, judges, clinicians, sponsors, or other equine resources, your experience and relationships could make a tremendous impact on our program.
