4-H Rodeo
In San Juan Co, the 4-H rodeo is a popular sport year round. The development and appreciation of rodeo as a healthy and wholesome form of recreation is important to youth participates and their parents. Increasing knowledge of safety precautions to prevent injury to yourself, others, horses, and promote humane handling of animals is a strong component of the rodeo program. There were 5 regualer rodeo's for the spring to late summer with a finals at the end of the season. This rodeo project has increase from last years enrollment.

1202 4-H Horse Project
The 4-H club in Ramah began a Youth Equine Project, with some very informative interest leaders in the equestrian world and the therapeutic program which has 9 members, 3 novice and 3 juniors and 3 seniors. The Horse Project began last year with clinics and workshops in areas of safety, first aid, therapeutic and philosophy of traditional and cultural in horse and horsemanship to coincide with 4-H program. One objective is to develop leadership, self awareness, care of equipment, and increase knowledge of safety precautions to prevent injury to you, others, and to promote handling of horses.

The target audience is youth participants of the 4-H horse project and to some degree all are physically challenged.

A pre and post test of knowledge gained was conducted, but the agent observed only a fraction of knowledge was gained by the members. The development of traditional/cultural project materials will enhance to post evaluation.

These students member have come a long way and some still have difficulties going through the horse events in this project. In local horse judging events they encountered all kinds of set back that will have to be overcome.

During the fall of 2008 and spring-summer of 2009 participants in 4-H started their projects for this year. Hands-on braiding parachute cords (three strands and four strands) and two strand continuous three round braid (napkin holder).
