Want to Volunteer?
Please consider volunteering for our shows below where there are volunteer sign up links available.
These shows are all run by volunteers and no one, except the judge gets paid.
We can't run successful shows without wonderful volunteers like you.
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED for all our shows!
Registration closes the Thursday before each show.
We print many copies of our order of go for all our stations, add names to our tabulations spreadsheet and enter back numbers on the judge scorecards. Everything gets printed by our county 4-H extension office Friday morning before the show. All of this helps our shows run smoothly for our contestants. Late entries cause lots of extra work for our volunteers as we have to manually update every copy and this can be up to 53 updates per rider depending on the show and how many classes they are in.
