‘The Meadows’ – 2922 Two Rod Rd., East Aurora NY 14052
- Youth are encouraged to bring their horse or learn from
demonstration about the different opportunities that the Ranch Riding Division
has to offer. NYS 4-H has Ranch Riding as an opportunity, but our county hasn’t
traditionally offered ranch classes at shows and events. If there are enough
interested youth to participate in this division, there is a potential to add
some of these classes to the fair/qualifying show. PLEASE
NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS AT 11AM!!
-
Instruction will be led by Grace Carls, local horse
judge. This qualifies as an educational event to participate in the 2023
Wyoming County Fair.
- Please call the 4-H office by Thursday October 13th
to register for this event as it is helpful to have a headcount. Youth do not
need to trailer their horse in, but it is an opportunity for hands on work!
This event does fulfill the educational event requirement for the 2023 Wyoming
County Fair.

textures, leaf shapes, winter bud characteristics, branching patterns, and
other traits. Get to know your trees by joining us for a fun filled morning
with a natural resource’s specialist. We will collect leaf samples and label
them so youth can create a tree identification book. The hike will happen rain
or shine, so please dress accordingly. Materials that youth will need to bring
are a notebook and pen/pencil.
