2024 Horse Project Information
2024 EquiSTEP - due June 1, 2024
EquiSTEP is a mandatory training for all horse exhibitors and must be completed by June 1, 2024. Find the 2024 EquiSTEP link here: https://cfaesosu.catalog.instructure.com/courses/equistep-2024
Each participant will need their own unique email address and most school email accounts will block messages from outside of the school district. If a member has previously enrolled in EquiSTEP, they will not need to re-enroll. Upon completion, members will need to print their “Completion Certificate” for proof of completion and include with your 4-H book. A copy of the certificate will be emailed to the Williams County Extension Office so you will not need to submit one to the office.
