I have two mini's that I am ready to rehome to a 4-H home, either in Pierce or Kitsap County, Washington State. I have had them almost 5 years and I love them to pieces, but I don't think they are getting the attention they deserve. They both would be great little 4-H projects. They look good, are well-mannered and the gelding loves to jump. High!
My ideal would be to have 4-H kids come here (ex- 4-H'r here) or they go to a local family that will show at the local fairs.
We have a wonderful mini horse barn at Kitsap County fairgrounds and a good number of mini's show at the fair, but not in 4-H.

These two are not registered, the mare gives rides on lead line. Neither seem to have had a bit in their mouth, but do well on the ground. Current on everything, hairy and cute!

I have since applied to be a volunteer with the 4-H and may just start a meeting here. That may help get them into 4_H.

HershyMint that posts on here is looking for a mini I think. IDK where she lives though.
Hi Cayuse, I believe she is in WA, which is too far for me. Thank you for thinking of me. I have a lead one a mini which seems perfect but someone was already coming and interested in her. They should let me know tomorrow if she is off limits.🙏:)

I signed up to volunteer and when I hear back from the local county extension service, I am going to inquire about starting a 4-H Club! I would love to give a child an opportunity to be involved with 4-H.
4-H has grown a lot since I was kid and now even offer the STEM education. It's a pretty neat organization (that makes for affordable horse showing!) and I am afraid it is going away. There are no groups in South Kitsap County, Washington State, where I live.

We might be interested, if they are still available! We are down in Clackamas County though. How old and tall are they? Any laminitis or founder history?

I have not found any takers for the mini's yet, but I am getting closer.

I have passed 4-H background check, filled out the application and now I am waiting for training. There is a horse only 4-H club in my area that I will be assisting with and refreshing my knowledge of 4-H and learning how things have changed since I was a member.

I went to a clinic the club had yesterday and it was so great to watch the kids with their horses. I am really going to enjoy this and going to the fair with the club. Hopefully, there are horse-less kids near me that want to show them. Thanks for all the interest!

Today I receive my official 4-H training. I attended a club (zoom) meeting last week. It was fun to say the 4-H pledge again.
Now I am committed to helping the club leader, and I still have the mini's!

It's funny how this turned out. I was looking for another volunteer opportunity (considering Meals on Wheels) and this is a good one. Maybe I can do both.
