King County
Isabelle Moe took her first horse ride in a pannier box on a pack horse when she was 18 months old. Eighty-four years later, she is still working with horses.
When most people are retiring, Isabelle started her career as a 4-H leader. She began judging 4-H horse shows in the 1950s. During the finals at the 1983 Puyallup Fair, her relationship with 4-H changed because there was not a single driving entrant from King County. Isabelle obtained a list of local 4-H clubs and offered to coach anyone interested in driving. Overcoming the obstacles of finances and trained equine, Isabelle began the Drivers and Riders 4-H Club.
It wasn’t long before it became apparent that there were youth with special needs that were “intimidated” by fast moving active teenagers. A second club was formed and Drivers and Riders became home to youth with special needs, physical problems, and those who were timid around horses. To assist some of her physically challenged youth, Isabelle had a special driving cart made in Eastern Europe and shipped to the U.S. The cart allowed her to ride behind the driver and hold a second set of reins so she could assist if necessary.
Isabelle continues to work with youth that have special needs and require extra patience, of which she has plenty. Her dedication to helping youth reach their potential is evident in all that Isabelle has done in her adult life and the 4-H youth of King County have been and continue to be her “children.”
