The horse inspection scores will be used for all the horse projects enrolled by the 4-H member using that project animal. If a member is showing/exhibiting more than one project animal, whether owned or leased, the member must take both project animals through the horse inspection portions of the evaluation. Horse projects will be cross checked and verified against the specific horses which were submitted and registered as horse by the member during the April 1 enrollment process.

In addition to the foregoing Rules and Regulations, Junior Fair Horse and Pony Exhibitors are subject to the Rules and Regulations stipulated in both the Junior Fair and Senior Fair Books, and publication #179 Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows. Exhibitors are encouraged to obtain a current copy of #179 Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows from the OSU Extension, Franklin County office.

Franklin County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee’s guidelines for pattern classes: No patterns for Walk-Trot, Novice exhibitors will do patterns, and if the class requires patterns, all participants will do the pattern followed by rail work with riders going at least one direction on the rail.

There may be no more than two riders for each horse enrolled.

15. Number of Horse Exhibits: An exhibitor may enter up to two horse project animals on Special Exhibit. In addition, there may be no more than two riders for each shared lease horse project. However, because of limited barn and stall space, there may not be room for the second horse project to be exhibited (Exhibitors will be notified before fair, that the animal may not come to the fair). Positively, no one will be allowed to have more than two horses at the fair on Special Exhibit. There will be a $25 stall fee accessed for each horse on Special Exhibit. The $25 stall fee will be due with fair entries in June.

16. Types of Riders: All Junior Fair Horse Exhibitors must declare a riding level at the time of Junior Fair Entry –

No exhibitor will be allowed to move up or down in riding level at any time during the current Franklin County Junior Fair. Show officials will excuse any Junior Fair horse exhibitor who enters the show ring in the wrong riding level class.

A. Walk-Trot – Exhibitors (the 4-H member, not horse/rider combination) who have shown in a lifetime total of 4 or less cantering classes in previous fairs, open shows, IEA or IEA type shows and/or 4-H PAS horse shows. Exhibitors must be in their 1st or 2nd year of a horse project to enter into a walk-trot class/event. Walk-trot riders have never participated in any PAS State Fair qualifying shows. Exhibitors who show in walk-trot classes are ineligible to show in any other riding classes at the current Franklin County Junior Fair. Walk-trot exhibitors are prohibited from loping/cantering their horse anytime while on the fairgrounds. Exception: If walk-trot classes are combined with novice classes, then all appropriate riders may show in the combined classes, which will be limited to walk-trot. Walk-Trot exhibitors will wear equine approved safety headgear (helmet) whenever they are riding or showing (including showmanship) their horse/pony.

B. Novice – Exhibitors (the 4-H member, not horse/rider combination) who have shown in a lifetime total of 4 or less cantering classes in previous fairs, open shows, IEA or IEA type shows and/or 4-H PAS horse shows. Exhibitors must be in their 1st through 4th year of a horse project. Novice riders have never participated in any PAS State Fair qualifying shows.

permitted to enter Versatility program. Novice riders will be permitted to participate in Hunter Hack classes but with cross rails only. These exhibitors may be expected to show their horse in a canter or lope. Exhibitors who show as novice riders may only enter into novice classes at the current Franklin County Fair. Exception: If novice classes are combined with walk-trot classes, then all appropriate riders may show in the combined classes, but only at walk-trot. Novice riders may wear Western style hats for Western Showmanship classes but will wear equine approved headgear at all other times while riding or showing their horse.

C. Age Categories – Exhibitors who select to ride in classes for their appropriate age must ride in the

same age category of classes throughout the current Franklin County Junior Fair. Riders may not enter into more than one age category class and may not ride in age category classes and walk-trot or novice classes. Entries will be divided into three approximately equal size divisions (Junior, Intermediate and Senior) based on the age of exhibitors entered. Age Category riders may wear Western style hats for Western Showmanship classes but will wear equine approved headgear at all other times while riding or showing their horse.

*Exceptions: If an exhibitor has ever qualified to show in the State 4-H Horse Show, they are no longer a walk-

trot or novice rider and must exhibit/show in the age category classes only. Mentally and/or physically disabled exhibitors are permitted to show in walk-trot or novice

classes beyond the restrictions listed above contingent upon the approval of the horse show rules committee.

The Horse Advisory Committee reserves the right to lower any exhibitor to WALK/TROT status if they deem it necessary for safety.

17. Ponies: A pony is 58” and under. If showing in a pony class, you may not enter a similar horse class for your age group or riding level. Ponies must be measured to determine height before showing. Ponies will be measured during grading and exhibitor numbers will be marked PONY.

18. Exhibitor Numbers: Exhibitors will be assigned an exhibitor number. The exhibitor must wear this number

throughout the entire week of the fair except for those horse shows that may issue their own special exhibitor numbers. The number must be displayed whenever the rider is astride the horse, horse in hand, lunging etc. Exhibitors are given their numbers at the completion of project grading.

19. Protective Headgear: 4-H publication #179 Uniform Rules for Horse Shows edition 2012 states (page 9; General

Rules #1) All youth age 19 and under, participating in any 4-H equestrian activity, are required to wear properly fitted protective headgear which meets or exceeds current ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards with the chin harness securely fastened at all times when riding or driving an equine. All junior fair exhibitors will abide by this helmet rule. It is the exhibitor and exhibitor’s legal guardian’s responsibility to provide the required equine safety-riding helmet and to insure that it fits properly. When buying protective headgear the buyer should look for the letters ASTM and SEI, which indicates that the headgear has met safety standards. NO EXHIBITOR WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE HORSE RING WITHOUT APPROVED EQUINE PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR. Improperly fitting helmets have been blamed for inflicting injury to a fallen rider; we therefore strongly discourage swapping of safety helmets. Parents choosing to lunge their child’s horse/pony will be expected wear safety headgear as well. Protective headgear is required whenever riding or driving an equine. Age category and Novice riders participating in a Western Showmanship class wear a Western Style hat (Walk/Trot riders participating in Western Showmanship are required to wear protective headgear.

20. Show Ring Etiquette: The judge will dismiss from the ring any entry they feel is unruly or not in sufficient control

for the safety of the handler or other exhibitors. Unsportsmanlike conduct toward judges, show management, or exhibitors, or physical abuse of the project horse will not be tolerated. The Junior Fair Horse Event Chair(s) and or Advisors will dismiss violators from the show.

9. Showing in less than four events: To win the Versatility Contest the horse rider combination must complete all four classes. Once a horse and rider combination does not show in a class or leaves the ring and drops out of a class they may not enter any subsequent class. The horse rider combination placing in any classes completed will stand for the classes that they completed and they will be eligible for the class rosette ribbons. Any Accumulated score will not be considered for the overall versatility award. Contestants placing lower in a class than a contestant that drops out will not be awarded a greater number of points because the contestant has dropped out of the contest.

10. Disqualification in Gymkhana event: Contestants that perform in the required gymkhana event but disqualify for any reason receive zero points for that event. These contestants are still eligible for the overall versatility Award.
