This chair was left by the horse and pony Arena under a tree I set it by the announcer stand hopefully someone will claim it

Who wants to come pick rocks out of the arena? If you come by the fairgrounds please feel free to pick up any large rocks that got worked up and put them in between the announcers stand and the fence... any help would be greatly appreciated and we are excited to see everyone Friday!!!

Here are the patterns that the judge has submitted so far. Please pay attention to the header listed on the pattern to make sure it is the correct one for your class. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via Messenger or text Katie!

Here is the current list of class entries...

We will have class lists and what patterns we have posted this evening & does anyone want to have a water fight on Saturday?

What are everyone's thoughts about having subway on Saturday 6/15 where the toppings are on the side, so you can make your own sub?

We will have 6:30 start open arena tonight. This will be the last chance to use the arena before fair 🙂

Practice is going to be cancelled tonight due to the radar, but we will have one available in Friday

Welllll... we will see what the weather brings for us tomorrow! If practice is a go we will put the keyhole & speed and action out for everyone to get familiar with the chalk lines. We will send notice out as soon as we can if we have to cancel. Friday we will have the last opportunity for a practice...We are excited for fair!

Are we still wanting to do a pitch in after the second day is over? We aren't sure since this year it's moved up...

Reminder: June 5th by 4pm is that LAST DAY 4H greenbooks can be turned into the office

Please let me know if anyone would like to ride tomorrow in the arena from 630 until 8, if not we will have open arena on monday starting at 6, regular practice Wednesday and another open arena friday the 7th if there is interest on fridays...please let me know 🙂

The plan for tomorrow evening is to work on reining and western riding. The arena will be open even earlier since these patterns take some time to get through. Megan with be out there at 5 and will start kids on the pattern at 5:30. So please come early if you can to get horses saddled and warmed up and ready to roll at 5:30. If we get through the patterns and still have some time left, the arena will be open for some free time at the end. Please bring state rule books so you can review the patterns in the book 🙂

We will keep everyone updated, but if the weather allows we will practice trail obstacles either inside or outside of the arena. As always please bring a halter and lead just in case :)

IT'S TIME! Entry is now open for 2024 Indiana State Fair. Click here to get started now >> https://bit.ly/44Wf5bx

Please bring halters and leads for ground work just in case we are not able to practice in the arena tomorrow, thank you ☺

Attention livestock/animal project exhibitors!

Beef, dairy cattle, goats, horse & pony, llama, sheep and swine must be 'enrolled' in v2.4honline.com by May 15.

Thanks again 4Hers, parents and volunteers for another confidence boosting practice! Watching your progress is amazing!

I will be sure to text everyone if we need to meet at the livestock building tomorrow night, otherwise we will put the barrels up 😊

At this time Wednesday is the only confirmed practice night this week. We can use the livestock arena for ground work / halter etc. if we get rained out from riding 🤩
