Volunteer Positions - Still seeking help!

Hello 4-H Horse Families, 


We still have a few families who haven’t selected their volunteer slots for the upcoming November 15th show.

Please remember, the rule book states that to be eligible for year-end awards, families must volunteer in each discipline their child participates in. For example, if your kiddo shows in both Western and Gymkhana, you’ll need to volunteer in both areas.

If you’ve already selected your volunteer slot—thank you! At check-in, we’ll verify your assignment so your kiddo earns their volunteer credit.

Our shows run entirely on volunteer support—your help is what makes each event possible and ensures a successful year for everyone!

🐴 Horse Show Reminders – Let’s Ride and Shine! 🌟

 

We’re so excited to see everyone at the show on November 15! Remember — the most important rule of all is to have fun and show off all your hard work with your horse. 💚

Here are a few friendly reminders to help keep things safe and smooth:

🪖 Safety First!
A helmet is required anytime you’re on horseback — no exceptions. Protect those noggins!

🏇 Riding Etiquette

  • Keep it classy — no cutting others off in the arena.

  • All horses should move in the same direction.

  • If your horse is having a tough moment, ride to the center of the arena until you’re excused.

  • Stay mounted until the class is complete and you’re excused.

🐴 Showmanship & Fair Play

  • Youth exhibitors must prepare their own horses — no adult help unless there’s a safety concern.

  • Once your horse is on the grounds, only the 4-H exhibitor may ride them. Adults/trainers can only step in for safety reasons.

  • Beginner/Intermediate riders may ride with two hands. If you start one-handed, you finish one-handed!

  • Western riders: use romal or split reins (beginners may knot split reins).

🎤 At the Gate
Be ready and listening — when your name is called, it’s showtime!

🙌 No Coaching During Classes
Cheering and encouragement? Absolutely! 🎉
Calling out instructions or coaching from the sidelines? Nope. Let your hard work shine on its own.

🚫 No Whipping in Front of the Cinch
Whips, bats, or spurs in front of the cinch are not allowed (this is good to know for Gymkhana)

📚 Know the Rules
Be sure to check the State Horse Rule Book for tack and equipment guidelines. You can find it on our county blog or ask your horse leader if you’re unsure.

Let’s make this a fun, safe, and memorable show day — we can’t wait to see everyone in the arena! 🏆🐎💚
