Help The first couple years of 4-H can feel like a fog Don't worry we've all been there. Any large program like this has so many facets it can feel like you'll never find your way. Or be able to participate in a conversation about an event without thinking "What is that?"Or when one of your veteran friends says something about Hippology.......Wait what!?! ​ Hopefully this page will help you navigate your way through the program. But don't forget you have another fantastic resource; your leader! It's their job to help you on this journey. Unfortunately, those of us that have been in this program for a long time forget how confused we got in our first years when we heard the terms; judging, showmanship, herdsmanship....and so on. So your most important job is to ask questions! The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. ​ That being said we wanted to provide you with some quick grabs of info to be at your fingertips whenever you need them. Where do I find that? Tack & attire needed The PNW Contest Guide on the publications page How things run The King County Rule Book Books & lots of info Rule books & reference materials Facilities Enumclaw Expo -pay for stall or tie to trailer, stay off grass inside facility, park outside, no horses on concrete Donida Farms -must pay for stall, no dogs, pull up to unload Green River & Meridian -no stalls, keep horses away from club houses Frontier Park -horses in equine area only, stall or trailer Novice Novice is a riding level and not an age division. It's for kids that can not safely canter in an arena. It is only present in the performance discipline, and limits riders to Dressage Intro tests that are walk/trot, and ground poles in jumping. Limited to rider's first 2 years of showing. Never leave a novice rider unattended. Age Divisions All ages are based on member's age on October 1st of that 4-H year. Junior is 8 through 10 Intermediate is 11 through 13 Senior is 14 through 18 A novice rider will compete with their age division in Dressage, jumping, driving and gaming. Novice classes are only offered in the Performance division. The letter after their number lists their age division; J, I or S. Danish Ribbons The danish system is amazing! It lets you know how your performance looked when compared with the rule book. It does not place you against the other riders. A High Blue means you exceeded the standards Blue; you met the standards in the rule book. Red; close to meeting the standards, you may meet some but not all. White; you need to work towards meeting the standards in the rule book. Being the last red called in the class does not mean you were almost a blue, they are announced in the order they were listed on the class sheet by the show secretary 3 days before the show. Danish ribbons are a true picture of how you did, regardless how many riders there were. King CountyFair The Fair is not a show, it's ran differently for a reason. It is our State Qualifying Event. We are the guest of the Fair, we did not rent the facility. We are there during the Fair, there will be balloons, rides, bulls, clowns, donkys, loud noises, loud music and lots of people that know nothing about horses. Sportsmanship is very important at all times. It's our job to show the public that we are a great program, we take good care of our horses and have worked very hard to get there. Our barn is ran by our Superintendents, Lori Glasgow and Kari Ward. Each section has a manager and a secretary. ​ Your Fair You will come in through vet check at the Big Oak, and not leave till the barn is excused at the end of your section. Only Danish ribbons are awarded till championship classes, those are placed. Do not drive to the barn, there is a tack tractor. Everyone does herdsmanship; keeping the barn & stalls clean at all times. You can not miss your Showmanship class, those are required for continued participation at fair. Barn opens at 6am, closes at 10pm. We have a special dumpster for shavings, shavings are provided by the fair. No horses or wheelbarrows down the center aisle, and don't miss the welcome meeting at the start of your section.

At a show we pay to rent the facility, we have complete control over our area and we are the only one's using it. At FAIR we are guests of the fair, we are an exhibit, one of many, that helps them draw the public in to "see the fair" We don't have any control over the arenas or space we use, we aren't the only exhibit using the arenas We are told when the arenas are ours to use and when they are going to be used by other exhibits. We may lose stalls to other exhibits Showmanship is mandatory We always follow the fair rules and leave things better than we found them As with every project at the fair this is our State Qualifying Event This means the reason for this event is to qualify our Intermediate and Senior 4-H members and to prepare them to compete at the P uyallup Fair in September Our decisions are made with all of these points in mind We will be playing music, this will not be adjusted individually, get your horses used to it now (it's fair, music in the barn and classes will be one of the quietest sounds there) Having music is better than a quiet arena with sudden loud sounds ​ CAMPERVILLE If your staying in "camperville" (the south camping field next to the horse barn gate) you'll need to fill out the Camperville Form above, return it to the Enumclaw Expo and pay for your spot. This is an agreement between you and the Expo, the horse program is not involved. ​ ​ FAIR TIC KETS If you're only showing during the Performance Section you will NOT need to purchase fair tickets, you'll only need them for the Gaming Section. Link to the pdf order form is on a teal button above. Prices are different for 4-H members than the normal public. You can purchase them through your club or directly from the Expo office. ​ ​ FAIR CLOTHING Clothing store has closed. ​ ​ STATE TEAMS State teams are for Intermediate and Senior 4-H members only. We will be having a State Team Meeting for each section during that section at Fair. Performance @8pm 7-11, Gaming @8pm 7-13. You can pick up a packet to fill out in the horse barn office. You will need to turn in your completed packet to the horse barn office prior to the end of your section. This is not a promise of team eligibility, we will be following the State Team qualification listed in the Rule book. Contact Sheilla Hagedorn if you have any questions. ​ ​ PREMIUM CLASS Y ou'll be asked to select a Premium Class. This is one class other than Showmanship that you think you'll do the best in. The Fair pays you for premium points, each danish ribbon has a point value (blue, red, white). So if you get a Blue in Showmanship and a Red in your premium class then the points from those 2 ribbons are added up and help figure your premium money that will be sent out after fair. Premium classes can't be changed once showing at the fair has started. Versatility Versatility is a class that was very popular several years ago and we thought y'all would like to have it offered again. You need to be able to ride english and western. You enter the class in western tack and clothing You participate in a Stock Seat Equitation rail class When directed you halt along the rail and dismount Your "helper" enters the arena with a wheelbarrow filled with your english tack You and your helper take off the western tack, place in wheelbarrow and put the english tack on You switch to english clothing, no you don't change in front of everyone, this is where things get creative ​ Tuck your western pants into your hunt boots ​ Have your english shirt under your western shirt Have your hunt coat and boots waiting in the wheelbarrow Your helper takes the wheelbarrow back out with your western stuff Then you get back on your horse and finish the rail class english ​ OPEN CLASS We are welcoming Open Class youth to participate in the King County Fair Equine Exhibit!
