• I believe that participation in the Washoe County 4-H Horse Program should demonstrate my own knowledge, ability, and skill as a raiser and exhibitor of horses.
  • I will do my own work to the fullest extent I am capable and otherwise will only accept limited support from others.
  • I will not use abusive, fraudulent, illegal, deceptive, or questionable practices in the feeding, grooming, and showing of my horse(s), nor will I allow my parents, my leader, or any other individual to employ such practices with my horse(s).
  • I will read, understand, and follow the rules without exception, of all horse shows in which I am a participant, and ask that my parents and the leader of my project to do the same.
  • I wish for my horse project to be an example of how to accept what life has to offer, both good and bad, and how to live with the outcome.
  • I realize that I am responsible for:

    2. The presentation of a high quality and safe project, and
    3. Demonstrating strong moral character as an example to others by upholding the 4-H Code of Conduct
