🎉 It’s No Joke! 🎉
Spring is here and so are PAS patterns & requirements!
👉 https://ohio4h.org/animalsciences/horse/pas-qualifying-shows
Make sure you review the important rules below before heading into show season:
🐴 A youth may only use one horse for PAS shows and cannot switch horses after competing in their first PAS class. The horse shown at the State Fair must be the same one used to qualify.
🐴 Exhibitors may enter a maximum of four (4) PAS horse classes at the State Fair Junior Horse Show, plus Ground Roping (which does not count toward the four-class limit).
🐴 To compete in showmanship, riding, or driving classes, youth must qualify in at least two (2) PAS classes.
🐴 To compete at the OSFJHS all horses MUST have a negative Coggins drawn on or after January 1, 2026.
🐴 Youth showing in Ground Roping ONLY must qualify in Ground Roping at a PAS show, but do not need to qualify in any other PAS classes.
Be sure to plan ahead and get those qualifications in—good luck this season! 🍀
