State 4-H/FFA Horse Judging School

The 2023/2024 State 4-H/FFA Horse Judging School will be on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at the University of Florida Horse Teaching Unit in Gainesville. The primary objective of the school is to assist in the preparation of judging teams for the State Contests. Anyone interested in horse shows and horse judging should benefit from this opportunity and is encouraged to attend.

The school will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. and run until just after 4:00 p.m. Registration/check-in will begin at 9:30 a.m.  There is a break for lunch which is on your own.

There is a $5.00 per person charge (youth and adults) to attend the horse judging school. You may register in one of two ways. To pay by credit card, go to Eventbrite and complete the form and payment (please note that Eventbrite will add a $2.18 fee to each entrant). To pay by check (no added fees), complete the registration form and mail with your check made out to "University of Florida". Preregistration by December 4 is strongly encouraged, but on-site registrations will still be accepted. Please plan to arrive with enough time to get checked in (allowing for long lines) and be seated by 10:00 a.m.

Depending on availability, a coach's guide may be purchased for $11.00, a member’s manual for $4.00, and additional printed materials will be available at no charge.
