🍀🐴 Have a horse-loving kiddo who wants to get involved in 4-H but doesn’t own a horse?
Did you know Monroe County offers a program specifically for youth who want to experience showing horses without having to own or lease one?
The Monroe Equine Development (MED) Program gives youth ages 9–19 the opportunity to learn, gain confidence, and experience showing at the Monroe County Fair!
It’s a wonderful way to introduce kids to the horse world, make new friends, and get involved in 4-H!
🐴 Interested but don’t know where to start?
We offer private beginner horseback riding lessons at The Barn!
Whether your child has never been around horses or is looking to build their confidence and riding skills, lessons are a great place to start.
🌟 $40 per private lesson
🌟 Lesson packages available
🌟 Beginner-friendly instruction
🌟 Learn basic riding skills, horse handling, and horsemanship
The MED program requires a minimum of 10 riding lessons within the previous 12 months for riding participants, so now is a great time to get started!
You don’t have to own a horse to begin your child’s journey into the horse world. Sometimes all it takes is an opportunity and someone willing to help them get started. ❤️
🍀 Interested in the MED program or beginner lessons? Feel free to message me! I’d be happy to help point you in the right direction.
Please share with any families who might be interested! 🐴🍀
