Due to COVID-19, all Nebraska 4-H Horse Advancement Level Testing scheduled before May 31 have been postponed. This includes the Lancaster County 4-H previously scheduled dates of May 5 and May 19. The deadline for passing advancement levels has been extended to June 15.
Youth are encouraged to complete the written test — which are offered online — and the reports/feed chart/healthcare charts, as these pieces can be completed by youth at home. Contact Kate Pulec at kpulec3@unl.edu for more information.
The following 4-H Horsemanship Advancement Level Testings are planned at the Lancaster Event Center, 84th & Havelock, Lincoln. Sign-up one-week in advance by emailing kpulec3@unl.edu.
• Tuesday, June 2
• Thursday, June 4
• Friday, June 5
• Monday, June 8
• Tuesday, June 23
All other horsemanship level requirements and paperwork must be completed and handed in to Kate before the riding portion can be done. Independent youth and clubs are encouraged to have virtual meetings to complete the demonstration part of their advancement levels. For more information contact Kate at kpulec3@unl.edu. It is important to note 4-H’ers need to be testing with their own 4-H projects. In addition, youth testing for level II must have their horses groomed/clipped for show readiness.
