Nebraska 4-H

Equine Webinar Series

Horses in a field

The Nebraska 4-H Equine Webinar Series is a great way for 4-H leaders, parents, and senior-aged youth to gain knowledge in various equine-related topic areas. Each session, a new topic will be covered with various experts joining to share their experience and expertise.

Most webinars are recorded and posted on this webpage as other times we do schedule live webinars in which participants can join. Please register in advance to receive a link and details for joining the live webinar. 

All webinars are recorded and made available below for on-demand viewing. Additional materials that are shared or discussed during webinars are also available. 

Live participants and those viewing recorded sessions are encouraged to complete the survey. Feedback gathered through the survey will be used to help in planning and improving future webinars.
