2024 Montana 4-H State Horse Show
September 19-22, 2024 at 406 Arena in Vaughn, MT
The Montana 4-H State Horse Show is an opportunity for 4-H horse project members to test their skills alongside their peers from across the state in an educational and enjoyable competitive contest. Classes are offered to include nearly every aspect of the 4-H horse project as well as nearly every skill level of rider. Youth, ages 9-19 years old, may enter and compete based on the qualifying guidelines of their county.
All 4-H Members enrolled in horse projects in Montana 4-H are welcome and encouraged to participate at the State 4-H Horse Show. There is not a qualification requirement from county fairs to enter the show. You must enter the project and level you are enrolled in with an approved 4-H project horse to be eligible to show. Horses must primarily enter a project class to be able to show in options classes. For example enter Western Horsemanship Level 2 and then you may enter showmanship and trail with the same horse.
