2019 KEEP 4H Giddy Up Project Book 8-9 years old

Properly kept records are a vital part of horse ownership. Records give a clear picture of what you have invested in the project. Records also provide you with accurate facts about your horse project. Because your horse is intended to be your year-long project, the Project Book should begin September 1st. However, there are exceptions, such as a change in horse or obtaining a horse later in the project year. You are responsible for writing an explanation for the judge.

□ All signatures are required. The parent signature may be waived if the 4H member is 18 years of age or older but you are responsible for writing an explanation.

□ A score of 70% or higher with all pages complete is required to compete at the Kent County Youth Fair for awards, trophies or ribbons.

The book may be decorated or enhanced as long as all pages are included and kept in order. Additional pages, photos and memories must be at the end of the project book.

Do not include pages from previous years unless they are part of a story or report you are including. "Previous Year" is defined as information prior to the Project Book deadline date of last year. (You may use last year's pictures and show records from fair.)

The Horse Project Book must be bound in some fashion. No loose pages please. Clearly label reports and stories. Reports and stories must include the date

authored. You must use the project book for the current calendar year. BONUS options include: Community Service Project Report, In-Depth Story or

Report, additional Photographs, Exceptional Organization and Creativity, Additional Education experiences. You can earn up to 45 Extra Points.

4H age is the member’s age as of January 1st of the current 4H year. Years in horse project do not include years as an Explorer but does include the

current year.

If you have questions that are not covered, please consult with your leader. Your leader may direct their questions to the Project Book Committee.
