The Georgia State 4-H Horse Show is held each June at the Agricenter in Perry Georgia. There are no qualifying shows, and you can enter the State Show simply by being a member of your local 4-H club, owning or leasing your horse by March 2 of the current year, and completing the Novice Horseman workbook, which can be obtained through your local county extension office.

Classes are offered in four divisions, Stock Seat (Western), Hunt Seat (English), Saddleseat (English), and Contest Events (Running), and in three age categories: Cloverleaf (1st-4th grade and 5th and 6th graders with limited experience), Junior (5th and 6th graders with demonstrated skills and 7th and 8th graders), and Senior (9th-12th graders). A champion and reserve champion are named in each division and age category.

Forty-two 4-H'ers qualify each year to proceed to Regional Competition, where they ride against other 4-H'ers from the 13 southern states.

Rules and entry forms for the State 4-H Horse Show are revised each year and published in January or February. These can be obtained from your local county Extension office. The Intent to Show Form, which includes Proof of ownership or lease of horses, is due to your County Agent prior to March 16 of the current year, and entry forms and fees are due to your County Agent prior to May 27th.

To be eligible to complete in the 2009 State 4-H Horse Show:

* Own or lease a 4-H project horse by March 2, 2009

* Your county agent must complete on-line Intent to Show forms by March 16, 2009

* Be an active, enrolled 4-Her in the county you live in or go to school in.

* Cloverleaf 4-H’ers must complete at least half of the Novice Horseman 4-H Horse Project manual and senior 4-Hers must complete all of this book by May 26th. The Novice Horseman Book is the first in a series of three manuals offered to document Horsemanship skills gained through the Georgia 4-H Horse Program. All participants should complete a new Novice Horseman Book each year. The books are available at the links above or from your local county Extension Office, and it is the responsibility of the local County Extension Agent to check the books and sign off on their completion. This may be done in conjunction with a volunteer Horse Club Leader, but the Agent must sign the documentation.

* Your County Agent must complete on-line Horse Show entry forms by May 27, 2009.
