The Lancaster County Super Fair 4‑H Horse Judging Contest will be held on Saturday, May 31 at the Sandhills Global Event Center – LivestockMarket Pavilion at 2 p.m. You may register in advance by emailing name(s) and age(s) of youth participants to Kate Pulec at kpulec3@unl.edu or before the event between 1:30–2:00 p.m.
Open to all 4‑H’ers — need not be enrolled in a horse project. This is a Lancaster County Super Fair contest held before the fair and is a premium event. Ribbon placings will be awarded. The top 10 contestants in all three age groups will be recognized at Horse Awards Night in the fall. The champion in each age group must participate in both judging and oral reasons to receive a belt buckle.
HORSE JUDGING PRACTICES:
There is still time to practice for the Lancaster County 4‑H Horse Judging contest on May 31! Horse Judging Practices are offered from 1:00–3:00 p.m. at the Sandhills Global Event Center Extension Office — exact dates to be announced. At these practices, youth will learn about the basics of horse judging, how to judge halter and performance classes that they would most likely see at the county contests and how to form and present a set of reasons. Practices are open to ages 8–18 (by Jan. 1 of the current year). RSVP if you are interested in participating in these practices.
For questions about either of these opportunities, contact Kate Pulec at kpulec3@unl.edu.
