The Indiana Standardbred Association is excited to announce their recent decision to partner with the Harness Horse Youth Foundation in a comprehensive educational outreach to all counties in the Hoosier State.
ISA has agreed to provide the funding necessary to produce and distribute HHYF s 2021 set of Activity Boxes to each youth development coordinator in each county extension office, who will, in turn, give them to interested 4H clubs. Horse racing is important to the state’s economy, especially in terms of horse production and agriculture, explained ISA president Joe Putnam. The HHYF boxes are a unique way to send our message, increase awareness about harness racing with young horse lovers, and help the HHYF all at the same time. This is a win-win-win opportunity.”
