Virtual 4-H State Horse Show

2020 NC State 4-H Virtual Horse Show Information Hello Everyone! The NC 4-H Horse Program Advisory Council recently held a Zoom meeting and decided to hold a virtual horse show for NC 4-H'ers. The show will be conducted on two different secure websites with APHA (American Paint Horse Association), and Better Dressage Scores. Both organizations are working with us to set up our entry website, class list, and patterns. Via the Extension Equine Husbandry website and social media, we have advertised that this event would be taking place in July. Youth that are interested in showing have been instructed to be sure that they have completed the online form to obtain an eligibility card. This form will close June 1. Every 4-Her must complete a separate form on every project horse he/she expects to participate within the current 4-H year. If they have more than one horse, they will need to complete the form multiple times. If a youth completed the form earlier in the year, and prior to COVID-19, they do not have to do it again. 2020 Eligibility Card Request Form For 2020, we will be using an alternative process for verifying eligibility, instead of having eligibility cards printed and signed by agents, leaders, and parents. After the June 1 deadline, a Google Sheet will be shared with each agent that contains the responses of all the youth that have indicated they participate in your county program. When that is shared with you, please go through that list, and highlight the names of youth that are ineligible per your county requirements. Once the show websites are up and ready to accept entries, a link will be shared with you to distribute to your members. We expect these to be ready mid-June. NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension. Extension's 4-H program is the largest youth development organization in North Carolina. We help over 247,000 young people grow into active, contributing citizens each year.
