Due to the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to monitor health and safety conditions on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to confirm the decision to conduct the State Horse Show on or before April 7, 2021. If it is not deemed safe to do so at that time by UGA following the guidance of the CDC and state health officials, then we will cancel the State Horse Show. If we are unable to host the 2021 Georgia 4-H State Horse Show, all county checks will be returned to the county office. Please keep in mind that health and safety protocols, such as social distancing, using face coverings and other personal protective equipment, and staggering schedules may be required at the time of the State Horse Show.

  • 2020 Western Dressage Equipment Guide
    USEF/WDAA Attire and Equipment Guide The purpose of this USEF/WDAA Attire and Equipment Guide is to provide an explanation for and additional information about the appointments (attire and tack) allowed under the USEF Western Dressage Division. In the case of conflicting verbiage, the current online USEF Rule Book will supersede this document. A USEF-licensed competition that offers Western Dressage tests/classes must use either a USEF-licensed Category 2 Steward or an inspector designated by show management and under the direction of the C2 Steward. Tack and bits on both sides of the horse of a minimum of one-third of the horses in each class/test must be inspected. At Federation-licensed competitions, except USEF Competition Lite competitions, the C2 Steward or the person who is under the direction of the Steward and appointed by the competition management will be responsible for overseeing the checking of the horse, tack, and attire. A horse must be eliminated from the test just completed if the horse or any tack and/or attire are in violation of the rules and/or the tongue has been tied. C2 Stewards or Equipment Inspectors are only required to inspect bits and other appointments on a minimum of one-third of the horses in a class. See further information in this document for proper equipment check procedures. Horses with illegal equipment in the warm-up ring will be eliminated from the next class they are entering unless the equipment can be corrected before the scheduled ride time for that entry. At a non-USEF WDAA competition or a USEF Competition Lite, a designated individual must assume the responsibility of overseeing the checking of horses, tack, bits, and attire.
