Ottawa County 4-H Horse Club
OCHC is open to all 4-H’ers and Cloverbuds regardless of county or state. In order to qualify for the end of series awards, participants must be able to prove their enrollment in 4-H. OCHC also has an open class, which is open to anybody. OCHC provides a learning space for youth interested in the horse industry by offering an entry level competition series with Showmanship, Barrel Racing, Flag Race, Pole Bending, Stakes Race, Dummy Roping, and Calf Break Away. OCHC board members readily offer advice to participants to increase their horse knowledge and improve their skills. OCHC also hosts a horse show named after a former member who tragically passed away. This show is held in her memory and has Western, English, Timed, and even Fun Classes. It is called the Rachel Wright Memorial Horse Show. More information about OCHC can be found on the “Ottawa County 4H Horse Club OCHC” Facebook page.
Ottawa County 4-H Shooting Sports
OCSS is open to only 4-H age youth actively enrolled in Ottawa County 4-H. 4-H’ers are given the opportunity to learn proper safety and handling of firearms and archery equipment. OCSS’s focus is that the participants of the program go on to be responsible adults in the shooting sports community. Currently, our program offers the Shotgun, Archery, and Rifle/Pistol disciplines. There are more potential disciplines available with the help of volunteers who become coaches. If you are interested in OCSS as a participant or volunteer, please reach out to the Extension office or to the “Ottawa County 4 H Shooting Sports Oklahoma”.
