Entering District and
State Horse Shows
To be eligible to participate at the district level: See
chart under Introduction Section.
Members must show at their designated district
4-H horse show and receive a purple or blue ribbon
to qualify for the state show in showmanship, Western
pleasure, Western horsemanship, English pleasure,
English equitation, hunter hack, reining, pony
Western pleasure, trail, barrel racing, pole bending,
flag race, pleasure pairs, and halter classes.
At district and state shows, an exhibitor may not
show more than one horse in a particular class and
may not enter a class two times. No horse can be used
in the same class twice, including those classes that
offer several options.
There are no district qualifying events for calf roping,
breakaway roping, team roping, costume class,
2-year-old snaffle bit project, or 3-year-old project.
At the State show, the 4-H’er must show in exactly
the same classes with the same horse in which
he or she qualified at district show. There will be no
substitutions and no exceptions.
At the district show, substitutions may be made
before exhibiting if the horse is identified by May
1. (See 2-year-old snaffle bit project and 3-year-old
project rules for additional nomination and identification
requirements.)
Due to the limited space available, a maximum of
three horses per exhibitor may be entered and shown
at the state 4-H show.
