Kansas 4-H Horse Show Rule Book Revisions
The 4-H Horse Show Rule Book has gone to the publications and will be available soon in print. It can be found at http://www.bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/S133.pdf
The 4-H Horse Action Team has worked hard to get the Rule Book completed and workable for the 4-H members and their families. A big thank you goes out to the dedicated few who have spent endless hours reading horse rules in hopes that 4-H participants and agents can understand more clearly the complexity of the rules.
Changes with 2016 revision:
Achievement Level: only Level I required to participate in District and State 4-H Horse Shows
Clarifications on Ownership and Leasing include two-and three-year old projects
Additions to General Show rules – information bolded in the rule book
Award System – Addition of Kansas State Fair how ribbons are placed and no premium awarded
Entering District and State Horse Show – bolded - Members must show in their designated district 4-H horse show

Pleasure pairs expanded 4-H’er opportunity to work with others in their designated district
Addition of Working Ranch Horse rules and patterns
Reining deleted patterns
