About Dirty Jeans 4H

The Dirty Jeans 4H Club is a nonprofit organization in Orlando, Florida. We are affiliated with the University of Florida.
Our purpose is to encourage diverse groups of youth to get involved with horses...young or old, experienced or not.
We focus on children ages 4-18. We teach our members important life skills, including teamwork, leadership, responsibility,
and an appreciation for living creatures. Our members learn how to ride in a variety of disciplines and styles,
care for, and have fun with horses in a safe and friendly environment. We operate out of Midnight Farms,
located on Apopka-Clarcona Road in Apopka, a suburb of Orlando. Our instructors have over 30 years of equine experience.
