⚠️ Important: Riding Evaluations Before Registration

Please do not register for the horse show until you have confirmed your riding division with your Horse Project Leader!

All 4-H members must complete a riding evaluation with their Horse Project Leader before the first show. Your leader will evaluate your current skills and experience to determine the appropriate division for you in each discipline.

Evaluations apply to Western, English, and Gymkhana. Please connect with your leader to confirm your assigned division before selecting your classes and submitting your registration.

Riding evaluations must be completed and submitted to HAC before the November 21 show. Please plan ahead so you are ready to register for the correct classes!

🐎 Register to Participate

Once you have confirmed your riding division with your Horse Project Leader, you can complete your registration here:

Registration Deadline: November 14, 2026, at 11:45 PM.

🙋 Volunteer With Us!

A successful horse show takes a great team, and every family has an important role to play!

Each family must provide a volunteer for every discipline in which their child participates. For example, if your child participates in English and Western, a family volunteer must sign up for each of those disciplines.

Your support helps ensure the show runs smoothly and gives our 4-H members the best experience possible.

Come support our 4-H youth as they demonstrate their horsemanship, responsibility, confidence, and sportsmanship in the arena.

Bring your family and friends and help us make the first Pinal County 4-H Horse Show a day to remember!

🐴 We’ll see you in the arena! 💚
