Equine projects develop leadership, initiative, self-reliance, sportsmanship, and other desirable traits of character in addition to developing an understanding of the responsibilities of managing a horse. Youth also develop an appreciation of horseback riding as a healthy form of recreation. Life skills include learning about organization and record keeping.
