To allow aging out 4-H seniors to compete next year at the states finial horse show.
Why this petition matters
We want the senior 4-H'ers who are aging out this and were not able to compete because the final horse show was canceled due the COVID-19, be allowed to return next year and compete in the 2021 final horse show. All the seniors have worked so hard to get to this point, only to have it yanked away from them, without the chance to show off the skills that they have learned from both, the 4-H and their trainer(s).
This petition has been created in the hopes that the state level 4-H and the National 4-H governing body will reconsider their decision concerning the return of all aging out seniors and will allow them to compete next year and finish out their time in the 4-H on a great note.
If you feel the same way as I, a parent of an aging out senior, I ask that you sign this petition and share it with friends and family who have seniors that have had their dream yanked away from them. Please help make that dream come true.
