4-H Horse Shows
2025 Horse ID Form
Due: Each Year by May 1
Changes for 2025: KAR 9-7-14 establishes the requirement of a negative EIA test (Coggins) for horses that are changing ownership or are used for exhibition purposes which must be completed in the previous 12 months. This requirement includes horses that originate outside the state of Kansas or from within the state of Kansas. To clarify, yes, you do need to require proof of a negative EIA (Coggins) for horses at your local shows beginning in 2025.

Horse Ownership: Youth may own the horse themselves, or use a family-owned horse (immediate family: mother, father, stepparent, brother, sister, grandparent, or legal guardian).
Leasing: The leasing option is intended for youth who are unable to participate fully in the 4-H horse project because they do not have access to family-owned horse, provided that they manage the horse at least 75 percent of the time from May 1 through September 30. If a 4-H member leases his or her project horse to another 4-H member, the leaser forfeits the right to use the horse.
Sharing project horses: Siblings may show the same horse provided they are not in the same class. If both are in the same age classification, they must decide what classes each will show in.
2 –year and 3-year old Snaffle-bit: No one is allowed to ride this nominated horse except you from May 1 until the conclusion of the Kansas State Fair. This includes a trainer, parents, horseless horse member, another 4-H member, sibling, potential buyer,
