The information below (and linked) was for the 2009 event and has not been updated for 2010. However, many of the details are similar year to year, so this may be used as a reference. Check back here as the event draws closer for more current information.

We will be offering two weeks of school this year: June 7-12 and June 14-19. The schedule is organized similarly to what it has been in years past with the addition of a Friday morning final riding session and Friday lunch. All weeks will include combined English and Western disciplines. The Registration fee for the 2009 Horsemanship Schools is $310.00 for youth and $220.00 for adults. Fifteen (15) meals and five nights lodging, as well as over 30 hours of instruction, stall and bedding, a t-shirt, and canteen are included in the registration fee.

Full details, forms, and directions are included in the following packets to download (MS Word):

Agents, the top page of each of the adult and youth packets has places for you to fill in local details (deadline to county, check payable to, etc.). Make sure to fill in those details before forwarding the files. Therefore, Adults and Youth, be sure to look for information from your County Office for full details and instructions.
Send paperwork by May 18.  Do not send payment until registration is confirmed. There must be a minimum of 30 participants to hold the school.  The maximum number of participants per week is 45.

4-H Horsemanship School is open to youth who are between the ages of 11-18 years old as of September 1, 2008 (not 11 years old by the first day of camp).
