South Dakota State 4-H Horse Show Frequently Asked Questions iGrow.org 4 - H YO U T H D E V E LO P M E NT What is a health certificate or CVI and why is it needed at the State 4-H Horse Show? Horses used for exhibition must be examined by an accredited veterinarian no more than 30 days prior to the State 4-H Horse Show and receive a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) stating the animal is free of signs of infectious or contagious diseases. Health certificates are turned in at the State 4-H Horse Show Office and collected by the South Dakota Animal Industry Board. This biosecurity measure helps lowers the risk of spreading disease between horses and ensures a safer environment for horses and exhibitors participating. Will a veterinarian be at the State 4-H Horse Show? In case of emergency, local veterinarian contact information will be made available to State 4-H Horse Show Exhibitors. A veterinarian is not guaranteed to be present during the entirety of the State 4-H Horse Show. Does a horse have to be housed in a State 4-H Horse Stall while on the fairgrounds? For safety reasons, for both the horse and general public, it is strongly encouraged exhibitors purchase a stall for their horse while on the fairgrounds. Exhibitors who are only participating for one day may choose to purchase stalls or tie their horses to their trailers. Exhibitors who plan on having their horses spend the night are required to purchase stalls. No horses may be tied to trailers overnight. Pricing options are available if a stall is needed for one day or multiple days. May horse stalls be reserved prior to entering the fairgrounds? NO. A limited number of horse stalling is available at the State 4-H Horse Show and stalling is on a first-come, first-served limited basis at the time of gate entry checkin. The horse and exhibitor (or parent/guardian) must be present at the time of gate entry to purchase a stall. Each exhibitor is allowed to purchase and use no more than 4 stalls which may be used to house a horse or tack. A master stall chart will be posted at Gate 4 for exhibitors to select stalls during the time of gate entry. Can a companion horse, not used within the State 4-H Horse Show, enter the fairgrounds and be stalled? YES. The horse must be listed on the health certificate to enter the fairgrounds.

Is there night security present at the State 4-H Horse Show? NO. South Dakota State Fair Commission and South Dakota 4-H us diligence to ensure safety of exhibits; but in no case are they responsible for any loss or damage done to, occasioned by, or arising from, an animal or article in the exhibition. Tack stalls may be locked. Stalls with horses in them cannot be locked. When and where can an exhibitor practice riding? Are there specific times to practice an event? Two outside arenas and the indoor arenas: north arena, south arena, and hippodrome are available for practice riding when not in use during a show. Check the South Dakota State 4-H Horse Show schedule for specific times and riding curfews. The practice rings are not assigned to a specific event or for a particular age group. Exception: hunter equitation over fences exhibitors practice on Monday in the Hippodrome. Riders should practice safe riding skills and be respectful of others who are practicing in the ring at the same time. All show patterns are available prior to the class for practicing however, trail patterns will not be physically set up in the arena for practice prior to the event. Can an exhibitor’s horse trainer ride their horse at the State 4-H Horse Show? NO. 4-H exhibitors are expected to care for, groom, and ride their horses while at the State 4-H Horse Show. Only the 4-H member, a member of the immediate family, fellow 4-H member, or 4-H Club leader may perform the fitting or ride a 4-H exhibitor’s horse. Is there an area to wash and groom horses at the State 4-H Horse Show? YES. A wash rack is available between the Open Class Beef and Open Class Dairy buildings. Does a horse have to be in a stall? No. Horses can be tied to a trailer from 7am – 10pm; however, horses must be supervised at all times. Horses may not be housed in a trailer or tied to a trailer overnight on the fairgrounds. Round pens are not to be set up next to trailers or campsites for housing horses.

South Dakota State 4-H Horse Show Frequently Asked Questions iGrow.org 4 - H YO U T H D E V E LO P M E NT How does an exhibitor know when their class is in the ring? Each exhibitor will receive an exhibitor packet when they check in at the State 4-H Office that contains the show schedule and class order. It is the responsibility of the horse show arena announcer to announce classes. Announcements are also made on the fairgrounds PA system however, State 4-H Horse Show does not ensure audio in all stalling areas. When time permits, announcers at their discretion may make announcements to update exhibitors in the class make-up and barn areas concerning the progress of the classes in the arena(s). Exhibitors and exhibitor’s parents/guardian are responsible for keeping track of class orders and for being in line or in the makeup area when their run or class time arrives. Where does an exhibitor line up with their horse to enter a class? Each show arena has a make-up area outside the arena entry gate. Exhibitors need to report to this area when their class is called. For all “individual go” classes, there will be an “on-deck” cone prior to the entry gate of the arena. It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to be at the on-deck cone at the required time to be checked in prior to entering the ring. In all other classes, the gate will be closed when the last visible horse in make-up area for that class enters the ring. No additional entries will be accepted to that class. What happens if an exhibitor’s class is in the ring and the exhibitor or horse is showing in a different ring at the same time? Three rings will be used concurrently during the State 4-H Horse Show. Efforts have been made to eliminate or minimize class conflicts between the rings. In cases of conflicts, however, the show management will cooperate wherever possible to allow youths to participate in conflicting schedules if notified at the time the conflict occurs. Show management may authorize an exhibitor to move to the next class in the order-of-go. An exhibitor or parent/guardian should report to the arena announcing stand once class prior to the conflicting class or while the class is in progress to request the class change. No changes to order can be made once the class is complete. Please note: Entry fees will not be refunded to youths who miss a class due to scheduling conflicts. There are no

class holds for tack changes. What happens if an exhibitor misses their class? Exhibitors who miss their class or run will forfeit their run in that class. An exhibitor may only participate in the next class order if the exhibitor or horse was physically showing in another arena and show management was notified prior to the end of the missed class. Is an exhibitor allowed to talk to the State 4-H Horse Show Judge? At no time should the exhibitor and/or parent/guardian confront the judge before or during the show. Exhibitors and/or parent/guardians may be allowed to contact the judge following the completion of the show at the discretion of show management. Reasons will be given in every event following the awards within an event. This will allow youth to understand the criteria the youth were judged on and allow the judge to explain his/her placing. Judge’s decisions are final. What does an exhibitor do if they plan on attending the South Dakota Summer Spotlight with livestock? Special accommodations to keep a horse or livestock during the week on the fairgrounds need to be arranged with the South Dakota State Fair Office. Where does an exhibitor go if they have any questions or concerns and who do they talk to? Exhibitors should report to the State 4-H Horse Show Office located in the Open Class Beef Barn. Show office management will direct the exhibitors question to the appropriate individual. The South Dakota 4-H Youth Development Program reserves to its Executive Committee from the South Dakota 4-H Horse Advisory Council the final and absolute right to interpret the South Dakota 4-H Horse Project Show Guide rules and regulations and to arbitrarily settle and determine all matters, questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of or connected with or incident to the Show, and the right to amend or add to these rules as its judgment may determine.
