Animal Science 101 Horse Program - Meghan Manor, Instructor
This program is designed by 4-H members. You do not have to have a horse to participate, even during opportunities to “bring your own horse.” My responsibilities as the leader/instructor include providing structured learning experiences, personal guidance, and counseling project opportunities for 4-H members. You can expect fun-filled educational opportunities that provide social and instructive experiences. We are going to practice on Sundays at 2pm at the Historic McFarland House.  Anyone interested in either the Animal Science  - Horse Program or Horse Judging is welcome to attend. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested.  If you have any questions please feel free to email or call me; Meghan Manor 304-886-7039 or email Mlmanor85@aol.com The Historic McFarland House ~ 409 South Queen Street ~ Martinsburg, WV 25401

CONGRATULATIONS
Berkeley County 4-H Horse Judging Team!

We did very well on our trip to Louisville in November, placing 15th in the Nation! We couldn't have done it without all of the support we received from the folks in and around our county.  We will be starting practice again on January 15th - 2pm at Sulphur Springs Stables in Inwood.  We look forward to another successful year.  In the past 3 years we have achieved 2 Junior state titles and I Senior state title with several Individual winners as well.  We are proud to have had such a fun, educational and successful program.  This team is open to all 4-H members.... Hope to see all of our returning team members along with many new. Bring a friend! Please contact me if you have any questions.
