A while back in my life I was in 4h. Not horse 4h of course, because I have pony club for that, but livestock 4h. I raised swine, and cattle. Raising and training the actual animal was fun, the other stuff.... well not so much.

I say this from personal experience. 4h is rather cliquey. I was VERY uncomfortable until my 2nd year, after I had made shit loads of friends at expos.
I'm not in 4h anymore because I absolutely CANNOT stand the girls..... so i stick with my pony club.
