4-H Horse Show

2025 Chemung County 4-H Horse Show Schedule

Friday

Horses may begin arriving in the afternoon. 

Horses are not required to stay overnight, but showing off trailers is not permitted. Stalls are available for all horses. Please fill out the stall request form. 

Rhiannon should check all horses in and an approximate arrival time should be provided to her. 

Horses will be stalled in Lower Barn 2. Each exhibitor will receive a tack stall in addition to their horse stall(s). Contact Rhiannon if you would like to share a tack stall with someone. 

Stalls will be labeled ahead of time with the exhibitor’s name. Contact Rhiannon if your horse has specific stall preferences! EX. Needs to be stalled on an inner aisle with less traffic, needs to be across from a horse it can see, etc. 

Anyone camping on the horse end should have already communicated with Shelly Rozell.
