Alleghany's Happy Trails 4-H Horse Camp

The Alleghany 4-H Horse Camp will be held June 2-6, 2008 at the Alleghany County Fairgrounds. Campers will enjoy improving their horsemanship skills while having fun with other 4-H’ers. Special activities include speakers, clinicians, and trail ride, training, and other traditional camp activities. The campers will have an opportunity to participate in a “mini” horse show.
