Congratulations to CHA Certified instructor, Sonya Bell from PA, CHA Region 5! We are so proud of you!!!!

🐴💚 Congratulations to the Sunni Bell 4-H Club of Washington County! 💚🐴

The Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Safety Award program recognizes outstanding efforts in equine safety education and accident prevention.

Younger members completed the PA 4-H Safety Checklist book, while senior members created and presented lessons to help teach those topics. Together, the club also designed horse safety posters for the Washington County Fair and put their knowledge to the test with real-life safety experiences at the event.

👏 Great job working as a team to make horse safety a focus for your members and your community.

Congratulations, Sunni Bell 4-H! 🍀
