Rule Book

 Hello, 

As we begin preparing for the new show season, we want to make sure everyone has access to both the County Rulebook and the State 4-H Horse Rulebook:

We encourage all horse leaders to review this material during your first horse meetings so that members and parents are familiar with the rules.

A few important reminders:

  • Horse ID Cards – Required from all riders 30 days prior to a show. Please email completed cards to pinalcounty4hhorse@gmail.com.

  • Volunteers – Each member must have a volunteer signed up to help at a horse show in order to participate in year-end events. Watch for volunteer sign-ups as show dates get closer.

  • Sponsorships – The packet will be sent out soon, but please note that a $150 sponsorship fee is required for eligibility in year-end awards and the State Horse Show.

    • Payment can be made in full by November 15, or in two installments: half by November 15 and the balance by February 1.

    • This program is a great opportunity for youth to connect with local businesses, family, and community members to reserve ad space in our show program or gain promotion on our Facebook page.

  • Show Fees
    • Classes will be $10 per class, $15 for goat tying (if goats are not donated), $25 arena fee
