Horse Exhibitors
If you are 8 and older as of January 1 this year, be sure to take a look at the Nebraska 4-H Horse Program Home Page for various information and opportunities. It is also important to take a look at the general information, frequently asked questions, and entry information for the State Horse Shows. As of 2023, there is no longer District Horse Shows; therefore you don't need to go to a district show to qualify for state fair.
