The Langlade County 4-H season launch

The Langlade County 4-H Horse and Pony Project launched its 2026 season during the April meeting with a demonstration by project President Carissa Dixon on Kinesiology and Lymphatic flow, explaining how massage can positively impact horse health, addressing migraines, TMJ or alleviating negative effects of an ill-fitting saddle. Carissa is a recent graduate and a certified equine sports massage therapist. The Horse & Pony Project board members and youth are planning a season of learning clinics, open areas, horse shows and participation in the Langlade County Fair.
