One purpose of 4-H horse projects is to teach young people how to feed, fit, show, and care for their animal(s). The more important purpose is to provide an opportunity for personal growth and development of the young person. Ohio 4-H realizes that some youth are unable to have an actual horse for their 4-H horse project. Options available to these individuals include: � Lease a horse from another individual � Horseless Horse Project (project number 173) What Is The Purpose Of Leasing A Horse As A 4-H Project? � A lease program is appropriate in the 4-H program when one or more of the following conditions exists: 1. Youth does not have the financial ability to purchase a horse. 2. Youth has a horse but it is unable to be used (lameness, pregnancy, too young, etc). 3. Youth has a horse but it is the wrong type for the educational experience the youth wishes to obtain. What Are Expectations Of The Horse Owner? � An individual (lessor) who leases a horse must be willing to: 1. Relinquish all rights to train, handle, and care for the horse in order for the youth to complete the requirements of a 4-H horse project. Potential owners should not lease horses they want to ride or show on a regular basis during the term of the lease. 2. Not take the horse back prior to the end of the lease unless the youth agrees to return the horse. 3. Have the youth (or parent/legal guardian) sign whatever agreements they decide upon in regard to care of the animal. 4. Allow the youth to transport and show the horse in 4-H, open, or breed shows. What Are Expectations Of The 4-H Participant? � An individual (youth) who leases a horse as a 4-H project: 1. To be responsible for the care of the animal in whatever manner is mutually agreeable to both the owner (lessor) and youth (lessee). 2. To complete a horse identification form as required by local counties to identify the horse as a 4-H project. 3. As a part of the educational experience of leasing a horse, to work in consultation with the owner (lessor) to develop a lease agreement on the horse selected for the Ohio 4-H program (see attached suggestions for developing a lease agreement). 4. Prior to any deadline date established by your local County Extension Office, to submit to the local County Extension Office a completed copy of the horse identification form and lease agreement for verification purposes ONLY.

4-H Horse Leasing Guidelines *Members, Parents & Lessors are to develop their own lease with these guidelines in mind. *Identification forms may be found in the Forms Section of this packet. JUNE 1st Deadline

-11-

What Should Be Included In A Lease? � Every lease is unique in the items that must be covered to protect both the owner (lessor) and the youth (lessee). A lease should be drawn and signed by the owner and the youth to insure adequate care of the animal, protect the investment of the lessor, and to detail the responsibility of the youth in regards to caring for the animal. It is wise to have a written lease agreement any time you are using someone else's horse, even if the owner is a family member. A lease can assist in preventing misunderstandings and unhappiness between the horse's owner and youth leasing the horse. � We suggest the following issues, but not limited to these, be addressed in a lease: 1. Identification of the horse (name, registration number if registered); the name, address, and phone number of the youth (lessee) leasing the horse; the name of parent/guardian if the youth is under 18 years of age; the name, address, and phone number of the owner (lessor). 2. Who is responsible in case of injury or death to the horse. Who pays veterinarian bills, and what would be the maximum amount you are expected to pay in veterinarian costs if injury costs are your (lessee's) responsibility. In addition, if the animal is injured and unusable, who has to nurse the animal back to health? An owner (lessor) may require you to take out insurance on the horse with the owner as the beneficiary to cover possible loss due to the death of the horse. 3. Where the horse will be housed and who is responsible for the daily care of the horse; any feed, health care (i.e. deworming, vaccinations, etc), foot care, and/or special stabling requirements made by the owner. 4. The purpose(s) for which the horse will be used, and that it can be transported at the youth's discretion to shows. 5. Any limitations that would be placed on the owner's use of the horse. Refer to the current Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows (Circular 179) for limitations caused by the animal being a 4-H project and include them or reference them in a statement, and make a copy of the rules available to the owner of the horse. 6. A statement on the time period covered by the lease and under what conditions and time frame the lease can be discontinued. 7. The owner should have a statement included relieving them of liability in cases of property damage, injury to the youth, or injury to a third party while the horse is under the lessee's supervision. 8. A place for signatures for the owner (lessor) and the youth (lessee) with a line for parent/guardian if the youth is under 18 years of age. The above mentioned issues are only suggestions, and we can not advise you as to specific terms or wording in a lease agreement. You may even want to consult an attorney.

SENIORS 25.000 SENIORS 18.500 SENIORS 10.500 The rules for the 2020 PAS Program will be as follows: 1. At the beginning of the year, the youth determines which classes they want to qualify in to show at State Fair. A

youth must qualify in any two (2) classes in order to compete in the State Fair Junior Horse Show. Counties may allow youth to qualify in more than two classes; however, youth may enter in a maximum of four (4) classes at the State Fair Junior Horse Show, this includes ground roping. At the State Fair Junior Horse Show, youth will only be allowed to show in classes for which they qualified.

2. A county may have requirements (i.e. written tests, interview judging, club meeting attendance, etc.) for youth to complete before they may enter State Fair qualifying shows.

3. After the youth select their class choices for State Fair qualification, the show committee needs to develop a qualifying show for all classes in which youth want to try out. Classes need to be divided as they are for State Fair with the exception that showmanship, horsemanship, or equitation classes do not need to be divided into as many age classes as is done at State Fair. Riding/driving classes should be divided so that a judge does not evaluate more than approximately ten (10) youth at a time.

4. A county (or group of counties) may offer up to two (2) single-judged qualifying shows or one (1) double judged qualifying show. In a show with two judges, the scores should not be averaged.

5. Counties must hire judges that are designated as PAS judges on the current year’s Ohio 4-H Horse Show Judges List. This list can be found online at http://horse.osu.edu.

6. A youth cannot compete in more than two (2) single-judged PAS shows or one (1) double-judged PAS show. 7. Gymkhana classes: Riders get one run (attempt) per class in a show to qualify unless county or counties are using

one show with two judges to qualify youth. Then the youth may have two attempts (runs) as long as they are not disqualified in the first run. If the youth receives a no time in their first run, they are still eligible for their second run. If the youth is disqualified in their first run, they are not eligible for a second run.

8. A youth may only use one horse to try out in PAS shows and cannot replace a horse for any reason after they have shown in their first PAS class. The project horse shown at the state fair must be the one the 4-H member qualified with in his or her county.

9. The show committee must have the current class score sheets printed for the judge when arrive at the show. These sheets are available online at http://horse.osu.edu. The judge will score the youth in the classes. As the sheets are turned in, a show committee member should total the scores. These scores can then be compared to the qualifying scores to determine if the youth qualified in that class for State Fair. Post the scores as soon as possible after the class is completed so youth know what they have to do in future classes to qualify. If the judge gets to a point in the coring that

-14-

they know a youth will definitely not qualify for State Fair, they may place a NQ (not qualified) in the total score box on the evaluation sheet and stop keeping score on that youth. 10. Exhibitors must provide a copy of their equine’s current negative Coggins test (dated on or after January 1st of the current calendar year) to their county 4-H educator (or representative designated by the county 4-H educator) to be submitted with their PAS verification form by the date specified by their county. Counties may require that youth submit a copy of their equine’s current negative Coggins test (dated on or after 1/1/2020) with their PAS entry form. 11.PAS qualifying scores must be included on the county’s PAS verification form submitted to the Ohio 4-H Horse Program and Ohio State Fair entry department by 1:00 pm on Monday, July 6, 2020. It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to submit their entry and pay their $50 stall fee online at www.ohiostatefair.com by 1:00 pm on Monday, July 6, 2020. THE PAS VERIFICATION FORM and COGGINS TEST (submitted by the county) AND THE ONLINE ENTRY FORM (submitted by the exhibitor) MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 1:00 PM ON MONDAY, JULY 6, 2020 FOR THE EXHIBITOR TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE. 12. Exhibitors with animals that are of the incorrect size for the class entered will be moved to the correct class. 13. See the current rulebook (Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows) for requirements for all classes. 14. At State Fair, a horse cannot be shown in both of the following combinations of classes:

a. Western Pleasure and Ranch Pleasure b. Western Pleasure and Ranch Riding c. Trail and Trail in-Hand d. Intermediate Equitation Over Fences and Advanced Equitation Over Fences e Low Hunter Over Fences and Regular Hunter Over Fences

15. Youth should review the 2019 State Fair Junior Horse Show schedule carefully for potential class conflicts when selecting their classes. At State Fair, classes will not be held for class conflict.

16.Entry fees may be charged for PAS State Fair qualifying shows/classes to help cover the expense of these classes. 17.PAS classes should not be placed. If you wish to give awards, give awards based on score received (i.e. if a youth scores a 90 in showmanship, they get an award indicating excellence in that class). 18.Due to the expense of conducting horse shows, some counties may find it desirable to have a show that includes classes that are not judged by PAS standards. This is acceptable; however, PAS classes may not be combined with other classes. 19. Counties can send their youth to another county to qualify for any reason, but they must follow the current guidelines in the Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows. 20.An Out-of-County PAS form is available online at http://horse.osu.edu. 21. Show management should not expect judges to give comments to youth in PAS classes since the youth can see their evaluation on the posted score sheets. 22. Easy Gaited horses may not show in riding classes that require a trot. Correct tack and attire for Easy Gaited Equitation and Easy Gaited Pleasure is Saddle Seat or Western tack and attire, respectively. Easy Gaited classes for State Fair will be two gaited classes (no canter). Gaits will be a Show Walk and a Show Gait. County qualifying classes will also be two gaited. In Easy Gaited Pleasure, the Show Gait will be worth 70 points since they do not canter. Easy Gaited horses may show in Gymkhana if the class does not require a trot. 23. A youth may show in draft (horse or pony) or light (horse or pony) driving, but not both. A heavy harness is expected in draft classes while a light harness is expected in light horse/pony driving classes. 24. Patterns for the 2020 PAS qualifying classes are included at the end of this document. These patterns are the ONLY patterns to be used for PAS classes in 2020. In addition to these patterns, the following rules will apply for the specified classes: PAS Qualifying Showmanship Rules

a. A judge may bring the class into the arena and then do the pattern, or they may work the youth as they enter the arena. Draft horses are an exception in that they will always come into the arena and work out of the line.

PAS Qualifying Horsemanship/Equitation Rules a. For Western Horsemanship and Hunter Equitation, the judge may work the pattern as the rider enters the area and then

bring either the finalist or the whole class back for rail work. They may work the rail first and do the pattern afterward for any Horsemanship/Equitation class. Saddle Seat and Easy Gaited Equitation will always work the rail first.
