Lexington, KY, July 7, 2008 – The Clark County 4-H Ponies & Partners Club Drill Team received a $1,300 grant from the Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) to purchase equipment

The club plans to use the funding to buy matching bridles, reins, saddle pads, and costumes for the 10 member team.
“The Horse Council is pleased to support the education of young horse enthusiasts through 4-H programs,” remarked Madelyn Millard, KHC Board President. “4-H is a great tool for young people to learn about horses and the responsibilities of horse ownership.”
The Ponies & Partners Club has a solid history of active youth involvement including a Horse Bowl Team and participation in an annual weekend horse clinic. The forty member club recently expanded its activities by adding the drill team. The new drill team competed for the first time at the state 4-H horse show this year.
