tion. No substitutions can be made once the
class has been started.
• Riders will have three minutes between classes
to change attire and/or equipment. Two handlers
per horse will be allowed into the arena to
help the exhibitors with changes. Handlers will
be allowed into the arena before the three-minute
start and will be asked to form in the center
of the arena. Riders must retire to the rail before
starting the three-minute changing period.
Exhibitors will ride or lead their horses toward
the center when time is called and return back
to the rail before time expires.
• The order of the classes will be: hunt seat equitation,
Western horsemanship, and barrel racing.
The first two classes will have a pattern with
optional rail work from the judge. Barrel racing
will follow the same rules as outlined below in
the Barrel Racing section of Timed Events.
• The top 10 individuals in each of the classes
will be placed and tabulated using the following
formula: first place — 10 points, second place
— 9 points, and so on. Points will be kept with
each of the seven districts, and final awards will
go to the district with the most points. A judge,
separate from the state fair judges, will be used
for the team competition.
• Following the conclusion of each of the district
classes, each exhibitor must let the district show
manager know his or her intentions. This list
of three individuals will be turned in to the
Kansas State 4-H office with the show report.
Any changes made after this time must be done
through the extension horse specialist or extension
youth coordinator by August 1st.
