Horse exhibitors must pass Horsemanship Advancement Levels for many classes at county fair and state horse shows. For Lancaster County Super Fair level requirements, see Fair Book class descriptions. Deadline is June 1 for the State Expo, and July 1 for the Super Fair.
The final Lancaster County 4-H 2023 horsemanship advancement level group testings will be held at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds on the following Tuesday evenings: June 6 and June 27. Contact Kate Pulec at kpulec3@unl.edu or 402-441-7180 for questions or to register. Sign up by May 30 for the June 6 testing, and by June 20 for the June 27 testing. Held in the evening, time slots will be emailed. 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) as well. 4-H’ers must notify Kate (kpulec3@unl.edu or 402-441-7180) at least 24 hours in advance if they are unable to attend their test time, or a $20 fee will be assessed. The fee will need to be paid before the 4-H’er will be allowed to test on another date.
