The North Carolina State 4-H Horse Show took place July 6-10, 2022, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh, North Carolina, and one of the big hits of the show is the Alumni Showmanship Class.
The class benefits the North Carolina 4-H Horse Program, it’s open to any 4-H Alumni of any state or program, and the entrants must use a horse already on the show grounds that is participating in the show. There’s a $50 entry fee, but alumni are encouraged to be sponsored by clubs and donate more, and the pattern is posted at 3 PM the day of the competition.
Exhibitors are encouraged to wear show attire or a costume, and as you can imagine, the costumes rule!
Thank you to Ryan Geiger Photography for the fabulous candid photos of the class!
