Rose Oaks County Park
10501 Buckhorn Lake Rd., Holly, MI 48442  

This 4-H Orienteering event is a fun, interactive event open to youth and their families that combines a traditional orienteering course with horsemanship, who can find a series of checkpoints in the woods the fastest!

Youth and families move at their own pace as they practice navigation skills, basic horsemanship skills, and teamwork. This low-pressure, outdoor event is designed to build confidence, problem-solving skills, and family engagement while enjoying time outside with your horse and horse friends.

Cost: $5, cancellations after September 1st will not be refunded. Riders must have at least one partner or a small group, no one rides alone! Youth under 15 must have an adult accompany them. You only need to register one rider from the group. Please car pool horses into less trailers if possible as parking at the trail head is limited.

Please enter the youth's primary adult contact here.
