4-H/FFA members may only show those horses they declared May 1, as being their Baker County 4-H Horse

Between May 1 and June 1, hardship cases involving illness, injury and safety must be made known to the Horse

4-H/FFA members leasing horses must have turned in a business-like agreement signed by them and the owner of
the horse to the Extension Office by May 1. Members are to have done as much work as possible with the animal
including: feeding, arranging for vet, farrier work, training, grooming, etc. However, circumstances beyond the

be the member’s full responsibility. A copy of the lease agreement is to be included with the 4-H/FFA records.

4-H/FFA members are to do as much training and preparation for the Show as possible. A leader or parent may assist
