Texas 4-H Congress

Texas 4-H Congress allows 4-H members to experience the law making process first hand by writing, submitting, and then serving as a member of the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Press, or as a Lobbyist. From these roles, the 4-H members determine the fate of each bill submitted.

Costs

A select number of 4-H delegates will be allotted to each district, urban counties, Prairie View Cooperative Extension, and the 4-H Military Program. Contact the local county extension office in the Spring of 2016 for information on how to apply to attend.

Texas 4-H Horse Validation March 1st to May 1st

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE TWO SETS OF DIRECTIONS BASED ON IF YOU ARE VALIDATING A NEW HORSE FOR 2016 OR REACTIVATING A HORSE THAT WAS ENTERED LAST YEAR INTO 4-H CONNECT!
FOR THOSE ENTERING A NEW HORSE INTO 4-H CONNECT, BEFORE YOUR BEGIN YOUR VALIDATION PROCESS, YOU MUST:
• Have a family and youth member profile established on 4-H CONNECT
• Be an paid and ACTIVE youth member of Texas 4-H for the 2015-2016 year.
• For any horse which was NOT validated in 4-H CONNECT last year, have digital photos of your horse(s) from the front, left side, and right side. These photos must be accessible for upload during the validation process.
• For any registered horse that was NOT validated last year you will need to have a pdf copy of your horse(s) registration papers for upload.
IMPORTANT Horse Validation is completed for EACH HORSE and will cover all 4-H youth members in that family profile. However, when validating your horses on 4-H CONNECT, you will select ONLY ONE 4-H youth member to conduct the validation under. Once a horse is validated, validation paid, and you begin registering for district horse show, the validate horse(s) can be moved to the appropriate 4-H member(s) that will be exhibiting the horse in the show.
