Section B Detailed Information

√ Guidelines for Leasing a Horse

√ Protective Headgear Policy

Ottawa County Fair Jr. Fair Show√

vised 1/10/2013

One purpose of 4-H horse projects is to teach young people how to feed, fit, show, and care for their animal(s). The more important purpose is to provide an opportunity for personal growth and development of the young person. Ohio 4-H realizes that some youth are unable to have an actual horse for their 4-H horse project. Options available to these individuals include: � Lease a horse from another individual � Horseless Horse Project (project number 173)

What Is The Purpose Of Leasing A Horse As A 4-H Project? � A lease program is appropriate in the 4-H program when one or more of the following conditions exists: 1. Youth does not have the financial ability to purchase a horse.2. Youth has a horse but it is unable to be used (lameness, pregnancy, too young, etc).3. Youth has a horse but it is the wrong type for the educational experience the youth wishes toobtain.

What Are Expectations Of The Horse Owner? � An individual (lessor) who leases a horse must be willing to: 1. Relinquish all rights to train, handle, and care for the horse in order for the youth to complete therequirements of a 4-H horse project. Potential owners should not lease horses they want to ride or show on a regular basis during the term of the lease.

2. Not take the horse back prior to the end of the lease unless the youth agrees to return the horse.

3. Have the youth (or parent/legal guardian) sign whatever agreements they decide upon in regard tocare of the animal.

4. Allow the youth to transport and show the horse in 4-H, open, or breed shows.

What Are Expectations Of The 4-H Participant? � An individual (youth) who leases a horse as a 4-H project: 1. To be responsible for the care of the animal in whatever manner is mutually agreeable to both theowner (lessor) and youth (lessee).

2. To complete a horse identification form as required by local counties to identify the horse as a 4-Hproject.

3. As a part of the educational experience of leasing a horse, to work in consultation with the owner(lessor) to develop a lease agreement on the horse selected for the Ohio 4-H program (see attached suggestions for developing a lease agreement).

4. Prior to any deadline date established by your local County Extension Office, to submit to the localCounty Extension Office a completed copy of the horse identification form and lease agreement for verification purposes ONLY.

4-H Horse Leasing Guidelines *Members, Parents & Lessors are to develop their own lease with these guidelines in mind.*Identification forms may be found in the Forms Section of this packet. JUNE 1st Deadline

What Should Be Included In A Lease? � Every lease is unique in the items that must be covered to protect both the owner (lessor) and the youth (lessee). A lease should be drawn and signed by the owner and the youth to insure adequate care of the animal, protect the investment of the lessor, and to detail the responsibility of the youth in regards to caring for the animal. It is wise to have a written lease agreement any time you are using someone else's horse, even if the owner is a family member. A lease can assist in preventing misunderstandings and unhappiness between the horse's owner and youth leasing the horse.

� We suggest the following issues, but not limited to these, be addressed in a lease: 1. Identification of the horse (name, registration number if registered); the name, address, and phonenumber of the youth (lessee) leasing the horse; the name of parent/guardian if the youth is under 18 years of age; the name, address, and phone number of the owner (lessor).

2. Who is responsible in case of injury or death to the horse. Who pays veterinarian bills, and whatwould be the maximum amount you are expected to pay in veterinarian costs if injury costs are your (lessee's) responsibility. In addition, if the animal is injured and unusable, who has to nurse the animal back to health? An owner (lessor) may require you to take out insurance on the horse with the owner as the beneficiary to cover possible loss due to the death of the horse.

3. Where the horse will be housed and who is responsible for the daily care of the horse; any feed,health care (i.e. deworming, vaccinations, etc), foot care, and/or special stabling requirements made by the owner.

4. The purpose(s) for which the horse will be used, and that it can be transported at the youth'sdiscretion to shows.

5. Any limitations that would be placed on the owner's use of the horse. Refer to the current UniformRules for 4-H Horse Shows (Circular 179) for limitations caused by the animal being a 4-H project and include them or reference them in a statement, and make a copy of the rules available to the owner of the horse.

6. A statement on the time period covered by the lease and under what conditions and time frame thelease can be discontinued.

7. The owner should have a statement included relieving them of liability in cases of propertydamage, injury to the youth, or injury to a third party while the horse is under the lessee's supervision.

8. A place for signatures for the owner (lessor) and the youth (lessee) with a line for parent/guardian ifthe youth is under 18 years of age. The above mentioned issues are only suggestions, and we can not advise you as to specific terms or wording in a lease agreement. You may even want to consult an attorney.

Ohio 4-H Protective Headgear Rule All youth age 19 and under, participating in any 4-H equestrian activity, are required to wear properly fitted protective headgear which meets or exceeds current ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards with the chin harness securely fastened at all times while riding or driving an equine.

It is the responsibility of the rider, or the parent or guardian of the youth participant, to make sure that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, and is properly fitted and in good condition. The Ohio 4-H Horse Program, Show Committees, Officials, Extension Personnel and Volunteer Leaders are not responsible for checking headgear worn for such compliance.

The Ohio 4-H Horse Program, Show Committees, Officials, Extension Personnel and Volunteer Leaders make no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, about any protective headgear, and cautions riders that death or serious injury may result despite wearing such headgear, as no helmet can protect against all foreseeable injuries in equestrian activities.

The Ohio 4-H Horse Program, Show Committees, Officials, Extension Personnel and Volunteer Leaders may, at his/her discretion, check a participant’s protective headgear for proper standards. If the youth is found to be wearing unapproved, defective, or improperly fitted headgear, he/she will not be permitted to participate in riding or driving activities until proper headgear is acquired.”

Ohio 4-H Horse Program Protective Headgear Policy

Frequently Asked Questions*

1. Is protective headgear required to be worn at mounted meetings, trail rides, or other 4-H

equestrian events?

Yes. Properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is required to be worn by all youth ages 19 and under while riding or driving an equine at any 4-H sponsored activity.

2. Many open horse shows that are NOT sponsored by 4-H have classes for 4-H members

only. Are helmets required to be worn by 4-H members if they participate in such

classes?

The Ohio 4-H Protective Headgear Rule is in effect for 4-H sponsored shows and activities only.

3. Does protective headgear have to be worn in showmanship classes?

No. Properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is required when a youth is riding or driving an equine during any 4-H activity, not when exhibiting an equine in-hand. However, the use of protective headgear intended for equestrian use is encouraged in all classes, and any exhibitor may wear protective headgear in any class without judging discrimination.

4. What style protective headgear should be used for western or driving classes?

Any style of ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is allowed in western or driving classes, including western, english, or schooling helmets. It is the responsibility of the rider, or the parent or guardian of the youth participant, to make sure that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, is in good condition, and is properly fitted with the chin harness fastened at all times while riding or driving.

5. Are helmets required when riding outside the show ring?

All youth age 19 and under, participating in any 4-H equestrian activity, are required to wear properly fitted ASTM/SEI helmet intended for equestrian use with the chin harness securely fastened at all times while riding or driving an equine anywhere on the competition grounds. Any exhibitor found in violation of this rule at any time will be prohibited from participating until proper safety headgear is in place.

6. Are bicycle or other helmets with a harness allowed?

No, bicycle helmets or hunt caps with a single chin strap are NOT acceptable. Only ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is allowed.

7. May protective headgear be modified in any manner?

No, other than to adjust the fit with pads supplied by the manufacturer.

8. May helmet covers be used?

Covers may be used provided they can be removed for inspection of the helmet if necessary.

9. How should show committees or officials enforce the rule?

The Ohio 4-H protective headgear policy should be included in the show/event program or in the event rules. The show committee or officials are not required to inspect protective

headgear unless the appropriateness of such headgear is questioned. In such cases, the show committee or officials have the authority to inspect the headgear and enforce the rule as stated in the current Uniform Rules for 4-H Horse Shows (4-H 179). Any exhibitor found to be in violation of the rule will be prohibited from further participation until appropriate headgear is properly in place.

10. If it is determined during a show class that an exhibitor is using inappropriate headgear,

how should the show committee or officials respond?

If the show committee or officials determine that the headgear is inappropriate and the exhibitor is in violation of the protective headgear rule, the exhibitor will be disqualified from that class. The exhibitor should be prohibited from further participation until appropriate headgear is properly in place.

11. How should a show committee or official respond if it is questioned that an exhibitor is

riding with headgear that is not in compliance with current rules (i.e. currently riding in

a class or riding or on the show grounds)?

If it is brought to the show committee’s or show official’s attention that a youth’s headgear is questionable, the show committee must immediately investigate and determine the accuracy of the report. If the headgear is not in compliance with the protective headgear rule, the show committee or official must prohibit the exhibitor from further riding/driving until properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved headgear is in place. The show committee or officials may investigate the appropriateness of headgear without a formal protest.

13. Should counties or 4-H clubs buy helmets for use by 4-H members at 4-H sponsored

events?

No. Protective headgear should only be purchased or owned by the 4-H member or their parent(s) or guardian(s). It is the responsibility of the rider, or the parent or guardian of the youth participant, to make sure that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, and is properly fitted and in good condition.
