This event will take place during a school day. Registrants are required to fill out an academic elgibility form and have it signed by their school and then faxed the Ag office. I do anticipate this taking most of the day, based on this past weekend’s event.
I am trying to put the horse judging manual from TAMU on the website for those interested to download.

February 12th - District 10 Horse Judging Competition - The District 10 Horse Judging qualification competition for the State 4-H Horse Show will be at the San Antonio Livestock Show . Pre-registration was required.
Teams: Teams consist of three 4-H Members in an age group. Being in a team means that you compete individually, but your score is also added to two other teammates to get a Team score. In the event more than 3 members are present in an age group, the top three individual scores make up the team. If the team goes with less than three members, the members still compete individually. There is no additional team activity apart from competing as an individual. There is not team discussion allowed or separate events that teams compete in different from individual participation.
