Horse and Pony Department
Horse and Pony Show Rules:
1. Exhibitors may not add classes after July 15 but may scratch entries or make substitutions until one class prior on the day
of the show. Remember the fair is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned in 4-H. Please select classes
accordingly. They should be classes that you have been practicing.
2. Only one ID’d horse, entered in at least one 4-H/FFA class, may be stalled on the fairgrounds during the fair. If there are
23any empty stalls a drawing will be held.
3. Horses may NOT leave early without vet recommendation or submitted request on or before July 15 and approved by fair
board and superintendent. Violators will forgo the ribbon sale and not be able to show next year.
4. Immediate family members (siblings/step-siblings) can co-identify the same horse. The shared horse must be enrolled
and identified under each sibling’s 4-H Online account. The horse must still only be identified either as 4-H OR FFA.
Siblings sharing the horse must both be enrolled in 4-H. The shared horse may only be shown in a particular class by one
sibling, not both. For example: a 5th grade 4-H’er can not show a horse in barrels AND the 8th grade sibling show the
same horse in barrels; however, the other sibling could show that same horse in pole bending. Each 4-H member will still
be allowed to ID a maximum of 5 horses; and of those 5, 2 may be leased.
5. Ownership: To exhibit in classes in which the primary emphasis of evaluation is the skill level of the 4-H’er, ownership is
not required; however, the 4-H’er must take an active role in the care of the animal (including feeding, cleaning, training,
health care, farrier care, exercising, etc.) Horses listed in the conformation (halter) classes must be owned by the 4-H’er
or in partnership with a family member. Any horse that is not owned by the 4-H’er or his/her immediate family (parent,
siblings or guardians) is a leased horse. So horses owned by a distant family member (grandparents, aunts, uncles or
cousins) will be considered leased horses. Proper paperwork and all rules for a leased horse must be followed. Leased or
borrowed horses may be shown in showmanship and riding classes only. If the horse is leased or borrowed, attach a
signed lease agreement with ID info in 4-H Online. If an exhibitor leases or borrows a horse, that horse shall be the only
riding horse the exhibitor may identify and show as a project. Lease forms are available at the Extension Office.
6. All State 4-H Horse Guidelines rules will be followed, including wearing 4-H armbands. Any exceptions are listed in this
rule book. State rule books & armbands may be purchased at the Extension Office.
7. All exhibitors will be required to wear ASTM/SEI approved horse helmets at all times when mounted and participating in a
4-H activity (practice, show, parade, clinic, etc.).
8. Performance class exhibitors must be dressed neatly in any color shirts with solid, plain front button or snap long sleeved
and collar (will be enforced) and dark blue jeans or attire appropriate for the class. Prohibited: personalized logos or
embroidery, zippers, sheer or lace fabric, embellishments or bling of any kind including but not limited to sequins,
rhinestones, chains, etc. Shirts must be tucked in. No vests or jackets. Hats/helmets, belts, and boots are required. The
judge will not give extra credit for special, costly attire.
9. Exhibitors may wear the county 4-H exhibitor t-shirt for games classes only.
10. Stalls will be assigned and posted by superintendent by Monday evening. All feed stall doors/access doors must be shut
at all times. Stalls must be wiped down and dusted prior to stalling horse. All horses must be groomed and saddled in

the conclusion of the fair.
11. No mounting horses in the horse barn, and no riding allowed in barns or north of the horse barn.
12. Only exhibitors may ride or warm up their horses at any time during the Kossuth County Fair. If anyone else (including

Toxoid - and wormed at least sixty days prior to fair show. Bring a receipt or proof of vaccination along with health
