2011 Missouri 4-H Equine Career Tour announced

“The Best of Missouri” is the focus of the fifth annual 2011 Missouri 4-H Equine Career Tour, May 21-27, 2011!  4-H teens, 14-18, with a dream of combining their equine passions with a career are encouraged to participate in this tour chaperoned by Missouri 4-H Youth Staff.  In keeping with the four-year plan, the 2011 tour returns to Missouri to discover its equine industry and career opportunities.   Participants will get a chance to produce a video during the tour promoting Missouri’s equine world during visits to premier training facilities, unique equine venues and meeting the best of Missouri’s equine professionals.  And, what better way to understand the equine recreational opportunities than a real Ozark Trail Ride and perhaps experience the ride of Missouri’s official horse, the Missouri Fox Trotter! 

Tour applications and the tour objectives are now available from your local 4-H staff and will also be available on the Missouri 4-H web site.  The detailed tour itinerary will be available January, 2011.  The fifty bus seats quickly fill so do not delay!   The tour application with deposit will be due March 15 to Debbie Davis, Clinton County 4-H Youth Specialist, 101 S.
