Horse Validation Information - due May 1st

As a reminder, horse validation via 4-H Connect is required for horses shown at the District and State 4-H Horse Shows.  Horses must be owned and validated by the 4-H member, their parents, grandparents, legal guardian, or sibling by May 1^st of each year.  A horse that has been validated before must be re-validated (and paid) each year, if it is to be shown.  The validation of multiple horses is encouraged, so the 4-H member has options, in case of an unforeseen accident, injury, or death of one of the horses.

Horse Validation Dates

March 1 – April 15 - $10/horse

April 16 – May 1 - $20/horse

May 1^st is the absolute deadline for validation of horses.
