4-H Horse Helmet Policy
(full policy available at this link) ~ The
Minnesota 4-H Horse Association has adopted a policy that will
require 4-Hers to use helmets when riding horse at 4-H events
and activities. The Center for 4-H & Community Youth Development
strongly supports this policy and applauds the 4-H Horse Association
for their commitment to providing safe activities for all 4-Hers.
The policy states…
All 4-Hers participating in any 4-H sponsored mounted activity
are required to wear properly fastened ASTM/SEI approved protective
headgear. Helmet use is required when mounted. This policy also
extends to 4-H volunteers when they are working with 4-H youth
in a 4-H volunteer role during mounted activities.
4-H
Involvement in WSCA SHOWS (full
policy available at this link) ~ Many County 4-H Horse Programs
have successfully used sponsorship of a WSCA Show as a fund raiser.
The helmet policy, however, would mean that all riding classes
offered to 4-H-age youth (grade 13 and under) would need to wear
a helmet. This requirement would not qualify the show as an official
WSCA Show with WSCA points awarded. Thus, 4-H programs cannot
sponsor a WSCA Show.
Animal
ID Policy Procedures and Expectations
This policy statement is intended to establish a higher degree
of continuity in identification procedures in all counties and
in all AnSci projects.

Around Cloverbuds & Animal Activities - The Minimum
Requirements for a Risk Management Plan in 4-H Cloverbud Activities,
which monitors the roles of all partners in a Cloverbud show experience,
indicates that a parent/responsible person will be with the Cloverbud
at all times when in the presence of an animal or when using equipment
that is potentially dangerous.

4-H Multi County Teams Position Statement –
Knowledge Bowl and Judging Contests – Some counties offer
multi county (participation of 4-Hers from more than one county)
teams. Formation of these teams is sometimes controversial. If
your county has or is considering multi county teams, you will
want to read on…
The
need to form multi county teams is subjective. It SHOULD NOT be
done to stack teams to win contests. The attached positional statement
was created last fall to help create a common understanding for
staff and coaches as they consider multi county teams for Knowledge
Bowls and Livestock (General Livestock, Dairy, Horse and Rabbit)
Judging Teams.
