Kentucky 4-H Horse Program

 

ATTENTION The first District Horse Show is on May 26th, therefore the deadline to declare your primary horse ineligible so that you may show your secondary horse is May 25th. For further details on this rule please go to the State Horse Show General Rules page G-3 section 2.

NEW!! This year the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is changing the format in the way they award scholarships to participants in the horse program.  In years past the scholarships have been giving out based on a random drawing.  This year they are requiring that the participant fill out an application and the scholarships will be awarded based on merrit.  You can go to the Awards and Applications page to find the application for the KDA Scholarships.
