North Qualifying Horse Show

The 2018 North Qualifying 4-H Horse Show information is now available.  We will have the show on May 19-20, 2018 in Raleigh at the Hunt Complex in Raleigh.  We will be sharing the facility again with the Wake County All Youth Open Show which is open to all youth to participate in.

You can find all the forms in 2 places. One is at the Rockingham County 4-H website located HERE under '2018 North Qualifying 4-H Horse Show.

And you can also find it located on the Extension Horse Husbandry website under district councils - HERE

Please remember to declare what show you will be showing at with your 4-H Agent asap if you have not done so.

ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED BY APRIL 27TH.  NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED LATE OR INCOMPLETE.  A missing pony card, eligibility card or medical release means incomplete.  We should not have to track down 50 medical releases from around the state because they were not turned in. SO this year incomplete entries will not be processed without ALL paperwork and payment!

The North Central District is offering a sponsorship incentive again this year---
Anyone that gets $100 in sponsorships for the show will receive a free stall at the show.  If you are taking advantage of this incentive please be sure that you mail in your sponsorship forms and sponsor money with your entry forms so that we can make note of your free stall!
