Welcome to the Pine County 4-H Update!
Rein Handling Workshop April 15
Join us for an opportunity to build your horse-handling skills! Pine County 4-H will hold a volunteer-led rein handling and horsemanship workshop on April 15 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Mission Creek Ranch.
Due to space constraints, members will not bring their horses to this workshop. The workshop will be indoors, but we suggest dressing warmly in layers. Attendees are encouraged to bring a camp chair or lawn chair.
Please see important notes and RSVP on our website.
Dog Training Starts April 17
Want to improve your dog training skills? Pine County 4-H Dog Training is for youth in grades 3-13 and a canine companion.
Obedience training will be held at the Hinckley-Finlayson High School Monday nights until May 22. Join us at 6pm for beginning obedience or at 6:30 for puppy class (dogs under six months).
Dog training will continue after Memorial Day at the fairgrounds in Pine City.
