A 4-H Horsemanship Advancement Level testing will be held on Tuesday May 3, at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds. All of the written horsemanship level requirements must be completed and submitted to Kate Pulec before the riding portion of the levels can be conducted. Additional level testings will be held on Tuesday, May 17 and Tuesday, June 28 at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds. Anyone wishing to test must sign up by April 26 for May 3, by May 10 for May 17 and by June 21 for June 28 by emailing Kate at kpulec3@unl.edu or calling 402-441-7180. Held in the evening, time slots will be emailed.
Remember, all other horsemanship level requirements and paperwork must be completed and handed in to Kate 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.
Notice from Horse VIPS About ‘No Shows’ at Level Testings — 4-H’ers must notify Kate (kpulec3@unl.edu or 402-441-7180) at least 24 hours in advance if they can’t make the testing they are signed up for. A $20 fee will be assessed to anyone who signs up for a testing and then doesn’t come or doesn’t notify Kate before the testing date. The fee will need to be paid before the 4-H’er will be allowed to test on another date.
