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.
