You DO NOT have to be a member of 4-H or McKeever to participate.

These are open shows benefiting McKeever Arena and Pleasant Park 4-H both non profit organizations and are our primary fundraisers for the year. 

All shows are divided by the following age groups:   8-10, 11-13, 14-18 and 19+

Walk trot/jog classes will be divided into 8-13, 14+ age groups. 

Please see details below about each show, including registration links.    Each show has it's own registration link. 

Pre-registration to show at all the below shows closes the Thursday before the show.
If you register after Thursday there is a $20 office fee added, we discourage late registration as it's causes lots of manual work for our volunteers and often delays the start of the show. 

Make sure you register early; this helps the shows start on time.
