I. PURPOSE OF THE LEASE PROGRAM - To provide a youth with the opportunity to participate in the
riding and showing aspects of the 4-H equine program when one or more of the following conditions
exist:
a. The youth does not have the financial ability to buy a horse.
b. The youth has a horse, but it is unable to be used (i.e. lameness, pregnancy, too young, etc.).
c. The youth has a horse, but it is of the wrong type for the educational experience the youth
wishes to obtain. The local Extension educator with county horse committee, if one is present,
will determine if the situation meets this confirm.
II. RULES FOR LESSORS OF HORSES TO 4-H YOUTH
a. The lessor (owner) of the horse relinquishes all rights to train the horse, and the lessee has
priority right to show the horse during the term of the lease. If the lessee has the horse at a
show, the lessor can compete in a class at the show. Potential lessors should not lease horses
they want to ride or show on a regular basis during the term of the lease.
b. The lessor may not take the horse back prior to the end of the lease unless the youth is
neglecting or abusing the horse, or the youth agrees to return the horse.

d. The lessor will allow the lessee to transport and show the horse in 4-H, open or breed shows.
III. RULES FOR LESSEES
a. The lessee is responsible for the daily care of the animal in whatever manner decided upon by

days of care minimum per week.
b. The lessee will be responsible to write up an agreement in consultation with the lessor to cover
who is responsible for expenses of care of the horse and who is liable in case of injury or death

Production classes are designed for the youth who has experience riding a horse and now wants to do all the
training on a horse starting when the horse is a yearling. The youth can then show that animal in classes
against other youth who have also done all the training of their horse. For a safe and rewarding experience,
the following rules apply to all production classes.
1. Stallions may only be shown during the calendar year in which they are born.
2. Production classes are limited to youth who have passed their 13th birthday and have not passed their
19th birthday as of January 1 of the current year.
3. The horse will be used only by the 4-H’er. Parents, trainers, and any other people may not train
or show the horse. The horse may be shown in open or breed shows, but only by the youth who
owns the project. Youth may get advice from others, but no one else will ride, drive, or handle the
horse at halter to train or show it.
4. The horse must be raised or purchased by January 1 of its yearling year. You may lease a
mare to produce the horse, but you cannot lease the horse you will train and show.
5. See the Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows for proper tack, equipment, and class rules.
6. Riding production horses in the classes in the performance division of the regular 4-H show using
equipment and showing style required there does not make the horse ineligible to continue showing in
the production division. However, they will use the same bit as is used for the production division.
7. Classes at the Production Show will be divided by type, age, sex, or any other reasonable division
based on number of entries. Halter classes are available for 1, 2, or 3 year olds. Performance classes
are available for 2 and 3 year olds, including pleasure classes for western (stock type), hunter, saddle-
type, and easy gaited. Lunge line is offered for yearlings and ground driving for yearling and two year
olds. The Production Program ends after the horse’s third year.
8. At the start of the project year, the contract and registration must be signed and filed with the
Extension office. The contract binds the youth to the rules as set forth in the production division.
Production horses should be identified by May 28, 2021.
