Welcome to our Web site! 

We are so very happy for you to visit us here at our new site. The EQUUS 4H Club is located in McLean County, Shirley, Illinois. All the members meet once at the Covell Town Hall on the first Monday of each month at 6pm, unless of course it falls on a holiday then it moves to the following Monday. We are mostly a horse based club, but we also have many members who do not have horses, and you do not have to own a horse to be in our club. Our club does have a 2 day open horse show each year, which is usually held the first weekend in June. One day is solely focused on "English" and the other day is dedicated to "Western". Additional information can be found on the link pages.

We are already in the process of planning for the 2008 year and our 18th annual Horse Show the first weekend in June. Thus far we have already elected all the new officers, selected teams going to the All Youth Horse Judging Trails at the State Fair grounds in Springfield, Illinois and of course finalizing the schedule for our Equus 4-H horse show June 6th, 7th and 8th.
