The Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup provides a place for youth to compete nationally while encouraging teamwork and self-confidence, and while focusing on the 4-H Mission Mandates: Science, Engineering, Technology, Mathematics, Healthy Living and Citizenship. Each participating youth participates in one contest.  Individual and team excellence is rewarded at a breakfast award ceremony, building personal pride and reinforcing the benefits of setting goals. Leadership is developed at these events by encouraging decision-making and teamwork skills, critical thinking, and independence. Healthy Living is demonstrated at the dance and through the lifestyle that is shown through each contest. Entertainment provides service learning and community-based learning opportunities, focusing on the importance of each youth's citizenship within his or her team, community, and nation. Participation in the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup is open to 4-H member delegates, volunteer leaders and Extension/FFA professionals approved by their respective state offices. Educational programs of Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Program serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. Disabilities accommodated with prior notification.
