The first 2015 riding skills level testing will be held on Tuesday, April 14, 5:30 p.m. at the Lancaster Event Center in the Amy Countryman Arena. Anyone wishing to be tested must sign-up by April 7. Contact Marty at mcruickshank2@unl.edu or 402 441-7180.

A second testing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 5:30 p.m. at the Lancaster Event Center in the Amy Countryman Arena. Sign-up deadline for the April 28 testing is April 21.

Remember, all other horsemanship level requirements must be completed and handed in to Marty before the riding portion can be done.

It is important to note 4-H’ers need to be testing with their own 4-H projects. The horse is being tested (and acclimated) also. In addition, youth testing for level II must have their horses groomed/clipped for show readiness. This is part of the level II test. If youth/horse do not pass this portion, they will need to come back and retest.
