Horse Project Validation Reminder Deadline

Horse Project Validation

Validation will be open March 1^st – May 1^st, at $10 per validation until April 15^th and $20 from April 16 until May 1.  Please remind your horse families that:

·         horses must be validated in 4-H Connect every year.

·         Only one validation per horse each year is necessary (horses do not need to be validated under each siblings name)

·         If the horse is registered then the registration papers must be uploaded during validation.  The uploaded papers must be legible and the owner must be listed as the 4-Her, or a member of the 4-Hers immediate family (parent, sibling, grandparent, legal guardian).  A bill of sale or a signed transfer request will NOT suffice.  Families should apply for and receive the corrected papers prior to uploading in 4-H Connect.

·         If the horse is grade (unregistered) then the field designated for the upload of registration papers should be left blank. 

·         Pictures need to be a visual representation of the horses color and markings (head and legs must be visible in right and left profile images and lighting should be sufficient to determine coat color)
