COUNTY HORSE ACHIEVEMENT BUCKLE AWARDS The most prestigious awards. This is for the kids who placed the highest on a scoring system for placing at horse shows, club involvement, attend clinics, riding levels, involvement outside of club - ie horsebowl, hippology, judging, speech/demo, state fair, county fair - all of these things are awarded on a point system for each child enrolled in the 4h program. They are not easy to get as you can imagine, and take a lot of goal setting at the begining of the year, hard work throughout the year, and dedication.
The scoring sheet for this is located in the back of the County Horse Rulebook (last page). The rulebook can be found on our website under the Forms and More Tab.
7 Buckles were given out - 6 of the 7 were awarded to COUNTRY STYLE MEMBERS!! Congratulations to each of you - we are very proud of you!
