Level Testing
If you have not already taken and passed the Horse Level
Test requirements, below are the steps you will need to take.
- DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. 😊 To date – No one
has contacted us to do the testing.
- Study for the written test. Level I is all you
need to worry about unless you are participating in the 3-year old Snaffle
Bit Contest and/or the level 2 and up Horsemanship classes. Here are
the links for the various level study guides - Level I; Level II; Level III.
- Before the test will be
administered, you need to complete pages 1 and 14, get all the signatures. Since the Extension Offices are starting
to open back up, you will need to bring the payment (see #4 for details) and
the form into the Extension Office.
Sarah will then sign the form.
Once this is received, we will contact Bev Seuser to let her know
we’ve received your information and payment. YOU
will then need to contact Bev to schedule the test. You will need to contact Bev 24-48 hours
in advance of when you want to take the written test. You will need
to email her your name, phone number, date and time you plan to take the
test. She will email you a link to take the test close to the test
time you indicated in your email to Bev.
- Additionally, before the
test will be administered, you will need to bring a $10 check made out to
the Kansas 4-H Foundation to the Extension Office. Please bring this to the office when you
bring in the pages 1 & 14 (see #3).
