EQUINE JUDGING Two judging activities are mandatory every year to be eligible to exhibit their equine at Fair, at least one of which must be in Kitsap County. If outside of Kitsap County, 4‐H member is responsible for locating judging and submitting paperwork to the judging chairperson. The top eight seniors and top eight intermediates are eligible to judge at State Fair. (It is highly recommended to participate at all equine judging activities.) Regional judging competition delegates are selected from State 4‐H participants. The judging chair person must submit proof of participation to the Equine Superintendent by August 1. NOTE: As of 1997, the following will be a requirement: Verified participation of 4‐H equine with member in one of the following events: equine show, Pre‐Fair, equine clinic or schooling show. Club or project leader needs to verify participation on the Fair entry form. POINT SYSTEM Kitsap County Fair scores on the Danish System as follows: High Blue 94 to 100 Blue 85 to 93 Red 70 to 84 White 69 & Below Green Participation Trail or Riding Pattern, English/Western Classes are scored as follows: High Blue 90 to 100 Blue 75 to 89 Red 50 to 74 49 & Below White Green Participation GENERAL RULES FOR SHOWMANSHIP, EQUITATION, JUMPING & TRAIL OR RIDING PATTERN, ENGLISH/WESTERN 1.
General Rules come from the 4‐H Horse Contest Guide PNW574, available at the Extension Office. 2.
Grooming of the project animal and herdsmanship must only be performed by the exhibitor; this includes clipping and washing the animal. In cases where exhibitors are too young and/or physically incapable of doing their own clipping, only bonafide FFA members may provide the needed assistance. Violations of this rule create loss of learning experience to the exhibitor and unfair competition to other members, particularly in showmanship contest, and are cause for disqualification of entry. Parental supervision is encouraged. However, in the event of an emergency which is endangering an exhibitor or someone from the public’s safety, adult help is acceptable. 3.
Skill level descriptions: o Novice: Open to any Equine project member. The move to advanced level will be automatic when a member receives Grand or Reserve Champion in any novice classes at the Kitsap County Fair, at the discretion of the leader. Does not apply to those members who change project animals. Bareback and Training classes are exempt from this rule. It is strongly recommended those 4‐H members who participate (on a regular basis) at “A” & “B” system shows, participate in advanced classes. It is the leaders’ responsibility to monitor this when signing members up for Fair. o Advanced: Open to any Equine project member who has advanced level skills in riding as determined by their 4‐H leader. State 4‐H Fair placements for intermediate and senior age divisions are selected from this level only. If a member changes to a new equine, they may select to go back to the novice level. 4.
Permission Slips: You must have a “Permission to Ride Bareback” slip signed by a parent or guardian to ride bareback in bareback class, costume class, parade of champions, or during exercise time.
