2018 4-H Horse Validation - due 5/1/18

4-H Equine enthusiasts – it’s that time, again!!  The 2018 Horse Validation will take place via 4-H CONNECT from March 1st to May 1st

The cost for horse validation is $10 per horse from March 1st through April 15th, $20 per horse from April 16th through May 1st and we have added a late fee of $250 per horse from May 2nd through May 5th There will be absolutely no validations accepted after May 5th

Those with registered horses to make sure that they apply for and receive any necessary transfer of ownership with the breed association.  The owner listed in 4-H Connect must match the owner of record on the horse’s registration papers, and appropriate relationship status selected between the horse owner and the 4-Her.  We are partnering with various breed associations to recognize those youth showing registered horses at the State 4-H Horse Show, and in order to be eligible for those breed awards the registration papers must be correct and uploaded to 4-H connect. 

We have several new additions to the State 4-H Horse Show this year, including a new class: Quad Drill; jackpots for speed, roping and ranch sorting events; and expanded scholarship opportunities including the Hi Pro feed incentive program.  We will be sharing more information about these events during the validation period to encourage 4-Hers in the horse project to validate and participate at the district and state horse shows. 


If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!  Detailed instructions are available on the Travis County Website (click and scroll to horse information)
