Boy Scouts of America Horsemanship Merit Badge

Established in 1911, the Horsemanship Merit Badge is an elective merit badge that can be earned when scouts successfully show how to handle and manage a horse. This includes knowledge of horses and their living areas, learning basic tack and riding skills, basic grooming and bathing and basic health and first aid.
