4-H HORSE PROJECT QUIZ BREAKDOWN
When selecting 4-H projects, members should consider the following:
Members in Level 1 through 5 may only progress to a higher level and may not go back to a
previous level. However, optional levels may be taken in whatever order a member desires. If a
member is involved in a subject covered by an optional level, that member may substitute that
level for that year if they wish, then return to a lower level the following year, but they cannot
return to a lower level than previously taken.
Members may stay in the same level for not more than two (2) years.
It is suggested that members beginning horse projects at an older age (12 years or older) should
progress to a new level each year.
Special requests related to project selection which deviates from the above will be considered by
the 4-H Horse Advisor’s Committee and the 4-H Agent.
There will be 20 questions from the material covered and five (5) safety questions from the new
safety book.
Levels 1 – 5 are out of the new book - Beginning Horse Management, #174
