This publication is designed to serve as the VA State 4-H Horse Show Rule Book and the catalog for the State 4-H Horse Show. Signed entry indicates compliance and acceptance with all rules, the entry system, and the show personnel and judge’s final decisions without oral or written protest. Class specifications and general guidelines may be pulled and adapted for local classes, shows, events and district shows. In general, modified United States Equestrian Federation Rules and American Quarter Horse Association Rules for class specifications have been applied to the appropriate classes. GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT The guides, including entry system, are recommended by the state 4-H horse project advisory committee and will have the appropriate administrative approval. All systems of selection and eligibility procedures have been thoroughly reviewed and the committee recommends continuing the selection by quota and age. Emphasis should continue for all members to show at local, county and district shows. Please consult with your leaders and members well in advance of the events. The state show is one of the largest and best 4-H events in the nation. Our challenge and goal is to keep the show operating optimally for the benefit of the members. 2 | Page SHOW PERSONNEL VA State Youth Horse Extension Specialist: Celeste Crisman, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA VA State Youth Horse Extension Program Associate: Leona Ransdell, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA VA State Youth Horse Extension Program Associate: Sandy Arnold, MARE Center, Middleburg, VA Co-Superintendent: Bob & Julie Williamson, Reva, VA Office Operations: Falon Saint James, Amelia, VA Show Operations: Sam Leech, Ext.
