My 4-H Cloverbuds Love Horse Care, Riding & Training for Kids age 6 to 11.

I've been a 4-H Equine Club Leader for 37 years and this spring our enrollment included Cloverbuds ages 5, 6 and 7. All my resource materials is for youth aged 8 to 18. We meet monthly and use this book as a teaching guide with a live equine as an example. This book is awesome for helping me plan our program for these very young equine enthusiasts.
