HORSE CRAZY high schoolers… this one is for you.



Applications are officially OPEN for the 2026 NYS 4-H Equine Ambassadors Program.



This is completely FREE and not your average leadership program.



This is:

• connect directly with Cornell University

• traveling across the country with other horse kids

• networking with real equine industry professionals

• overnight leadership camps

• public speaking + resume building

• making lifelong friends and connections

• representing New York State in the horse industry

• becoming part of a statewide network that will support you long after high school



Last year, our inaugural cohort traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for the American Youth Horse Council Symposium. This upcoming year, our Equine Ambassadors are heading to KENTUCKY for even more national-level equine experiences.



You do NOT need to ride.

You do NOT need to own a horse.

You just need passion, curiosity, leadership potential, and a willingness to grow.



This program is completely FREE thanks to the support of the Agriculture and New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund.



Open to NYS high school juniors and seniors.



Applications are due June 1.



Tag a horse kid who needs to see this.

Parents, trainers, educators, and friends , please share.



Application links will be posted in the comments. For questions email Brieanna at [email protected]

Barrel racers, please read this carefully and share it with other barrel racers. It is about balancing your horse to help them do their job better. The rider on the left is leaning into the turn slightly more than their horse is leaning.

The result can be seen in the left horses front feet. This horse on the left has their inside front foot way outside to the left in order to balance their rider and manage the centrifugal force of the turn. The rider is forcing this on their horse and when the legs are that far out it is dangerous and it can't be fast.

The right side rider is helping their horse balance by staying more upright to counterbalance the centrifugal force of the turn. Putting more weigh in the outside stirrup and sitting on your outside seat bone helps this rider help her horse. A more balanced horse can be more effective in a fast turn.

It's that simple. Balance yourself to help balance your horse.
