4-H 2 and 3 year old Horse Snaffle Bit Projects
Horse snaffle bit projects are due into the local Extension Office by May 1. Along with the nomination, the 4-H member must submit the Horse ID and a $10 fee. The nomination form, a copy of the horse ID (including a color picture of the horse) and fee should to be forwarded from the local office to the State 4-H Office as soon as possible, by May 7th for 2 and 3 year olds.
Three-year old snaffle bit projects must have been nominated the previous year and did not have to be shown to be re-nominated. This 4-H year is the final year for the 2 year old project as current industry trends indicate that intense training of young horses is physically too demanding, therefore the change to focus on 3 year olds. State Fair entries for 2 and 3 year old projects are due August 1 in the State 4-H Office. For more information concerning the Snaffle bit project check the 4-H Horse Show Rules in the 2019 Kansas State Fair 4-H Exhibitor Handbook.
