2020 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 35
WHAT’S NEW FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITION IN 2020 by Tony M. Forshey, DVM, Ohio Department of Agriculture The Ohio Livestock Show Reform Act authorizes the Director of Agriculture to adopt mandatory and optional rules. Mandatory rules apply to all livestock shows, while the sponsor has the option to opt out of the optional rules on an individual rule basis. If a sponsor decides not to opt out of an optional rule, the rule then becomes mandatory. The following is a clarification of how the statute (Ohio Revised Code) and rules (Ohio Administrative Code) are to be interpreted and applied at all terminal, partial terminal and non-terminal livestock exhibitions in Ohio: 1. Livestock is inclusive of all species, except equine; 2. Livestock exhibitions include all county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair and all preview and jackpot shows; 3. A sponsor is any entity who conducts an exhibition including preview and jackpot shows; 4. The sponsor may opt out of any or all of the optional rules at least 30 days prior to the opening (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industry, 8995 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, Oh. 43068); 5. Effective February 13, 2004, exhibitors shall annually attend or complete a quality assurance program before exhibiting terminal or partial terminal market livestock, or at the option of Ohio State University Extension, annually pass a test administered by or under the supervision of Ohio State University Extension. 6. Effective February 19, 2007, OAC 901-19-07, exhibitors may pass a test based on age and skill level to be exempt from quality assurance re-certification. This exemption is at the discretion of OSU Extension or Ohio agricultural education. 7. Effective March 23, 2017, OAC 901-19-07 (C): Exhibitors who fail to attend or complete a quality assurance program or fail to pass the exam as outlined in paragraph (B) of this rule may be subject to the disciplinary actions listed in rule 901-19-21 of the Administrative Code. 8. Effective April 22, 2018, Appendix A to OAC 901-19-17 requires junior fair exhibitors to complete a quality assurance program at least 45 days prior to the opening date of the exhibition. 9. Swine being sent to a licensed livestock facility or going out of state for slaughter or commingled with out of state swine must be identified with an official eartag or four digit tattoo. 10.The department does not require Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for exhibition livestock originating in Ohio including swine. However, an exhibition sponsor can choose to require additional regulations above those of the department. 11. Effective March 21, 2016, an acceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-12 (Q), only permits drenching of livestock for a medical condition at an exhibition when diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian and an unacceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-13 (H), drenching of livestock at an exhibition is prohibited except as permitted under paragraph (Q) of rule 901-19-12 of the Administrative Code. 12.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-13(C) Applying any electrical, mechanical, or other appliance that enhances, transforms, or changes the true conformation, configuration, or appearance of the livestock, unless prescribed by the exhibition veterinarian; 13.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-33, Prohibited Grooming Practices, becomes mandatory. 14.Effective February 15, 2003, OAC 901-19-02 (II) “Slick clipping” or “body shaving” means having hair that is less than one half inch in length on the body of market hogs; 15.Even if the sponsor opts out of one or more of the optional tampering rules, the statute prohibits the use of any material, gas, solid, or liquid, that conceals, transforms or enhances the true confirmation or configuration of all livestock, including by way of example but not limited to rope, false hair, graphite, and hemp; 16.For breeding classes the rules of the breed association will constitute acceptable grooming practices; 17.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-38, becomes a mandatory rule.
18.The Exhibition Livestock Health Rules apply to any exhibition over 36 hours in duration or has livestock whose origin is not Ohio and that exhibition must have an approved veterinarian (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture at least 20 days prior to the opening date); 19.Junior market livestock shows at county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair are defined as either terminal or partial terminal shows: a. partial means that at least the Grand and reserve Grand champion animals are required to go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only, b.terminal means all market livestock go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only; 20.Preview and jackpot shows, as well as breeding classes are non-terminal shows; 21.At all terminal, partial terminal and non-terminal shows urine and hair samples may be collected; 22.A Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) will be required to be completed for all livestock for which a test sample is collected; 23.OAC 901-19-06 (D) the Director of Agriculture shall require a DUNF be completed for livestock including market steer, market hog, market lamb, veal calf, market dairy steer, market goats, market poultry, lactating dairy cattle and lactating dairy goats, and be reviewed locally (assistance will be available from the Ohio Department of Agriculture by faxing the form to 614-728-6310); 24.For all shows the statute prohibits the misuse of legal drugs (including but not limited to the use of drugs approved for use in humans, but not approved for animal use) and the use of illegal drugs; 25.The statute prohibits the showing of tranquilized livestock, including products such as Calf Calm, and diuretics for cosmetic purposes; 26.All livestock entered in a carcass contest at a terminal, partial terminal, and non-terminal show must be drug free on the day of show: a. the withdrawal time must have elapsed by the day of show, or b. the drug must not exceed the tolerance level on the day of show; 27.Immediately before or during a terminal and partial terminal show and sale and within a valid veterinarian-clientpatient-relationship (VCPR) or for a valid medical purpose a drug or an over-the-counter (OTC) drug may be used if it is declared on a DUNF and the drug’s side effect does not conceal, transform or enhance the conformation of the treated livestock, any such permitted drug use must be disclosed at the time of sale; 28.The drug use notification form shall be filed with the records official prior to the show in which the animal is entered. If at any time, the information on the original drug use notification form changes, an updated form shall be filed immediately with the records official. 29.At non-terminal shows the use of drugs requires a VCPR for prescription and extra-label use of drugs, and OTC drugs must be used for a valid medical purpose and according to label directions and must be declared on a DUNF. The preceding is not intended to be an all encompassing review of the statute and rules as they pertain to livestock exhibitions in Ohio. Exhibitors, exhibition sponsors, parents, advisors, and veterinarians are encouraged to call the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Tony M. Forshey, D.V.M., at 614-728-6220 with any questions. The success of this program is based on the continued input and cooperation of educators, industry, and government. Through your continued support, Ohio will continue to be a national leader in livestock show reform.

VETERINARIAN GUIDE LINES All animals must be on the grounds by the specified times for each species. No animal shall enter the grounds without being inspected by the fair veterinarian or his/her designated assistants. 1. All animals on the grounds will be inspected prior to weigh ins. All animals will be evaluated for infectious/contagious diseases, illness, lameness, etc. Any injured, sick, or other unhealthy animals will be quarantined and further inspected. It will be determined if the animal will be permitted to remain on the grounds. Things that will be specifically visually inspected are, but not limited to, lameness, body condition, ringworm, lice, warts, orf, or foot rot. 2. Any injured, sick, lethargic, or lame animal must be evaluated by the fair veterinarian as soon as reasonably possible. Please report any animal concerns to the Junior Fair Board Office. The fair veterinarian will examine the animal and recommend treatment. The fair veterinarian has the discretion to remove any sick or injured animal as needed. If an animal requires treatment, it may remain on the grounds as long as there is no danger to the public, the animal, or animals. The exhibitor of any animal given a medication is required to fill out drug residue paperwork to insure that the animal will not enter the food chain until the withdrawal time has expired. 3. All animals will be moved and handled in a safe, humane, and efficient manner. Any exhibitor or person mistreating an animal will be asked to leave the grounds. All animals shall have access to clean water, feed, and stall. No animal on the grounds shall have water deliberately withheld for any reason. Bucket watering animals is permissible as long as there is a bucket within the stall and the animal has reasonable signs of recent watering. Intentionally tampering with the water of any animal with the purpose of reducing water intake shall result in the immediate expulsion of the exhibitor and the project from the grounds. 4. Animals exhibiting signs of zoonotic diseases (those that are transmissible to humans) will be removed from the grounds. Common zoonotic diseases include ringworm, orf, scabies, vesicular stomatitis, etc. 5. All decisions made by the fair veterinarian are final. Any exhibitor can elect to have any veterinarian examine and/or treat their projects; however, the fair veterinarian must be made aware of the diagnosis and all treatments performed. Common sense and good animal ethics will be the guidelines with which all decisions are made. We promote good ethical treatment and husbandry of food animals to the public. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in regards to these matters. I hope that all have a wonderful and rewarding experience at this year’s fair. Thank you, Jason S. Patchell DVM 2020 Clermont County Fair Veterinarian
GENERAL RULES FOR JUNIOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS General 1. The Clermont County Junior Fair will operate under the provisions of Ohio’s Livestock Show Reform Act and under all applicable Ohio Department of Agriculture Administrative Code Rules. This information is found in this fair premium book or can be found on the websites printed below. All market livestock must be free of all drugs the day of show, day of sale and day of harvest (slaughter) as stipulated by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Read the Ohio Livestock Show Livestock Show Reform Law and Ohio Department of Agriculture Administrative Code Rules (ORC901.70 to ORC901.76) https://agri.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/oda/divisions/animal-health/livestock %2Bexhibitions/livestock-exhibitions 2. Exhibitors may be required to show proof of ownership or leasing (horses and dairy cattle) of their livestock project animals upon the request of the Junior Fair Board or Senior Fair Board. Animals must be in the possession and care of the exhibitor by the dates set for each species. 3. The maximum number of animal entries per exhibitor per class is limited to two. Exceptions are listed under species rules. 4. The number of pens, which is defined as a four-sided structure, is limited to four per exhibitor. The species included are sheep, swine, goats, turkeys, ducks and geese. 5. Exhibitors are asked to dress appropriately for shows and sales. Your dress should reflect your pride in your project, yourself and your family, as well as the organization you represent. This means clean clothes and shoes. 6. Animals that leave the fairgrounds after the official check-in time or before the official check-out time Saturday of the fair for each specie, or before the animal sells, will forfeit all rights to show and sell, and will not be allowed to return to the fairgrounds. Exceptions are milking dairy cattle, milking dairy goats, horses not housed in stalls the week of the fair and animals going to the state fair. Participants leaving before checkout time will forfeit ribbons, trophies and any other awards. No animals may leave the fairgrounds until the specified time for each specie Saturday of the fair unless it is loaded onto an auction house or slaughterhouse truck. 7. A time will be determined for animals leaving the fairgrounds for the state fair by the Junior Fair Coordinators. 8. All judges’ decisions are final. 9. All exhibitors are expected to write thank-you notes to buyers and trophy donors. 10. No animal will be allowed on the fairgrounds after their designated check-in times. This means the animals not admitted are not allowed to show and/or sell. 11. To show, the animal must have been at the pre-fair check-in and/or weigh-in and at the fair check-in and/or weigh-in at the designated time for each specie. 12. For any Championship Drive, a three-minute time limit will be used to get an animal into the show arena. If the exhibitor does not arrive in time, the exhibitor and animal are disqualified from the Championship Drive. 13. Decisions made by the Senior Fair Board appointed vet or designees are final at weigh-ins, tag-ins, check-ins and the fair. 14. As requested by the state veterinarian, help protect fair animals from foot and mouth disease. Do not enter livestock areas if you have been out of the country within the last five days. Foot and mouth disease is not a danger to humans, but humans can expose animals to this infection. 15. No scales other than the official fair scales will be allowed on the fairgrounds. 17. For all market classes, there must be five animals to make a class. Care and Handling 1. All Junior Fair exhibitors are responsible for the care, feeding and handling of animal exhibits and areas around exhibits. Aisles will be inspected daily by adult and junior specie consultants. If an exhibitor must be told to care for or clean his or her animals and stalls, pens or cages, they will be warned and premiums will be withheld. If a second warning is issued, this could lead to disbarment from showing and/or selling animals. That decision would be made by a committee of a Junior Fair Board member, Junior Fair Board specie junior and senior consultants, another Junior Fair Board adult consultant, a Senior Fair Board member and the 4-H or Agriculture/Natural Resource educator. 2. Every exhibitor will be provided a pen, stall or cage for his or her project except horses. Additions or enhancements must be provided by the exhibitors at their own expense. The number of pens, which is defined as a four-sided structure, is limited to four per exhibitor. The species included are sheep, swine, goats, turkeys, ducks and geese. The maximum number of pens provided to exhibitors with goat projects is two. 3. Exhibitors who do not clean their pens, stalls or cages after selling their animals or taking them home will be assessed a $50 cleaning fee per animal, which will be given to the Senior Fair Board to cover the cost of cleaning. Pens, stalls and cages must be cleaned by 10 a.m. Sunday immediately after fair. The stall cards must be left hanging above the pens, stalls and cages. Nothing may be left in the aisles in any barn. All manure, mulch, etc. used in pens, stalls or cages must be taken from the barns and placed in appropriate manure piles. This includes horse stalls. Any animals and/or other property left after 10 a.m. will become the property of the Junior Fair Board. 4. One fan is allowed per pen or stall. No fans used in the barns may be hung by bailing twine. Fans must be hung, according to the fire marshal, with wire. Fans may not be hung by handles.
Castration and Dehorning Castration and dehorning must be done well before pre-fair tag-ins/check-ins. The wounds caused by castration and dehorning must be completely healed by the prefair tag-in/check-in. See goat rules for additional dehorning information. Exhibitors owning animals found with any problem concerning castration and/or dehorning at the pre-fair tag-in/check-in will be disqualified from the current year’s Clermont County Fair. Male goats must be castrated by the May tag-in/check-in date. Any sac must be healing, dry to the touch and approved by the fair veterinarian. Championship Drive 1. If an exhibitor wishes to pull an animal from the Championship Drive, in their respective show, they will forfeit all premiums and awards for that animal. These awards will be given to the animal placing next in the original class, and that animal will then be eligible to compete for further honors. 2. The Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion market steer, market Iamb, market goat, market hog must sell, and they will be terminal. All eight of these animals are required to be slaughtered and the carcasses may be examined for any abnormalities or tampering immediately after the respective auction in which they sell at the Clermont County Fair. These animals will be sent directly to a facility approved by the Senior Fair Board. These animals are subject to state-mandated testing after the show, as per state law. Drug Use Notification Forms 1. Completed and signed drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the fair begins in the Junior Fair Board office. Without these forms, animals cannot go across the scales. See the state rules for information about penalties. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board Office. Feed Verification Forms 1. Completed and signed feed verification forms for ruminant animals must be submitted to the Fair Veterinarian or designee at the fair weigh-in/check-in. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board office prior to the weigh-in/check-in. Grooming 1. Grooming of the Junior Fair project animal is an important part of the learning experience for the Junior Fair exhibitor. ALL JUNIOR FAIR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR OWN GROOMING. However, if needed, Junior Fair exhibitors may have someone help with grooming. Exhibitors may be assisted by only the following listed individuals: Parents, brothers, sisters, legal guardians, grandparents, currently registered Clermont County 4-H club advisors, FFA advisor and current Clermont County Junior Fair exhibitors. The Junior Fair exhibitor being assisted must be present when assistance is being given. Assistance is interpreted as the actual touching of the animal. People, other than those listed, may give verbal directions, but may not touch the animal in any way. 2. Tampering and/or misrepresentation as to the breeding, age, ownership and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception. Any artificial means of removing or remedying the physical defects of conformation in exhibition livestock, such as lifting and filling under the skin, use of string, artificial heels, addition of hair, etc., will be considered fraud and deception. The use of an artificial tail head or altering the natural coloring of an animal shall be prohibited. The use of any means of inhumane artificial stimulation will not be permitted. All animals showing evidence of such treatment will be barred from competition and sale.

work. Duties beyond this will be at the discretion and decision of the fair veterinarian and Junior and Senior Fair Board department chairs. See castration section in General Livestock Rules for more information. 3. Feed verification forms for ruminant animals will be collected by the fair veterinarian or his designee at fair weigh-in/check-in. Drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the Junior Fair Board office Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the fair begins. Forms are available in the Junior Fair Board office. Without the drug use notification forms and feed verification forms, completed and appropriately signed, animals cannot weigh-in, which means animals cannot be shown and/or sold. 4. If an animal should die while on the fairgrounds, it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to remove the animal from the fairgrounds within 3 hours. Mandatory Assuring Quality Care for Animals Training 1. Quality Assurance programs will be scheduled each year to discuss tampering, violations and other state rules. Previous year attendance does not apply; participants must attend a program each year they participate with market livestock at the fair. 2. Quality Assurance training must be completed by June 1st of each year to meet the Ohio Department of Agriculture minimum of “45 days prior to exhibition” requirement. 3. Youth who are between the ages of 12-14 or 15-18 as of January 1 of current year are eligible to take a test developed for their age level in either large or small animal. 4-H members who pass the test with 70 percent or higher will be exempt from the Quality Assurance requirement until they move to the next age bracket, or are no longer a Junior Fair market livestock exhibitor. 4. All exhibitors in market steers/large market heifers, feeder calves, market lambs, market hogs, market goats, lactating dairy cattle, lactating dairy goats, market poultry and meat rabbits are required to complete an approved Quality Assurance Program in an Ohio county. 5. FFA exhibitors may meet this qualification through their Agriculture Education coursework, providing the instructor is certified through Ohio Quality Assurance training guidelines and recorded with OSU Extension 4-H Animal Sciences as a qualified trainer. FFA advisors must hand in paperwork that lists the FFA class members who completed the requirements. 6. Exhibitors who attend a Quality Assurance program in another county must submit paperwork to the Ohio State University Extension Office no later than June 1 of the current year to prove attendance. If this paperwork is not submitted by June 1, the member will not be allowed to show at the fair. Pen Assignment Program 1. Stall, pen and cage reservations are due between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. the second Saturday in May in the JFB Office. 2. Exhibitors will be assigned to requested stalls, pens, and/or cages according to the requests made by exhibitors and club advisors. If two club members want to be side by side, they must state that on the pen reservation form. No exhibitors will be allowed a stall, pen and/or cage outside their club unless otherwise stated on a reservation form, if room permits. 3. There will be no moving of pens once assigned, unless approved by Junior Fair Board specie consultants. 4. Empty pens will be reassigned by the Junior Fair Board. If exhibitors want their animals in one pen, they must submit one reservation request. For example, if two exhibitors raised their animals together and want them in the same pen, they need to state that on the reservation form. No members may submit two requests to use the second stall, pen and/or cage for tack. If this occurs, the stall, pen or cage will be relinquished to the Junior Fair Board for use at their discretion. 5. The assignments made will be permanently written on a diagram of the barns. These diagrams will be used at the end of the week to make sure each exhibitor cleans their stall, pen and/or cage. Moving pens may mean you are fined $50 because the exhibitor in the stall, pen and/or cage assigned to the original exhibitor did not clean up properly. Protests and Grievances 1. Protests and grievances relating to Junior Fair rule interpretation or other Junior Fair matters that occur during the fair should be brought in writing to the Junior Fair Board junior and adult consultants of the appropriate show or activity within one hour of the incident in question with a fee of $300 cash.

If the protest is deemed valid, a non-partisan committee with at least one Senior Fair Board member, one Junior Fair Board member, junior specie consultant, senior specie consultant, 4H educator, Agriculture and Natural Resources educator and another person chosen at large will be formed to rule on the matter. If a member of the committee files the grievance, he or she will be excused from the committee. Decisions will be made within 24 hours of the original filing of the protest. If the person filing the protest or grievance loses, the money will be given to the Junior Fair Board.

If the protest is deemed valid, a non-partisan committee with at least one Senior Fair Board member, one Junior Fair Board member, junior specie consultant, senior specie consultant, 4-H educator, Agriculture and Natural Resources educator and another person chosen at large will be formed to rule on the matter. If a member of the committee files the grievance, he or she will be excused from the committee. A recommendation will be made to the entire JFB board at the next meeting. A decision can be made that night or at the following JFB meeting. If the person filing the protest or grievance loses, the money will be given to the Junior Fair Board. If the person filing the protest or grievance wins, the money will be returned to that person. Showing 1.

The Junior Fair Board must be notified and permission must be granted by the Junior Fair Board junior and senior specie consultants prior to the class in question. 3.

If project animals are boarded out or kept at a boarding stable, the exhibitor is expected to regularly clean, care for and exercise the animal(s). Exhibitors may share a project animal, maximum of two members per equine. Shared equines should be due to a hardship or mentoring less experienced youth. 11. Exhibitors with shared horses (leased or owned) may show both at the county fair but on different days. Horses will only compete with one exhibitor per day, with the exception of immediate family members (i.e. brothers and/or sisters.) 12. Leased animals are permitted only after Junior Fair Board Horse Committee, Adult Junior Fair Board Consultants, Ohio State University Extension Educators and Adult Horse Committee approval of the Standardized State 4-H Lease Form. The Lease Form must be submitted and be on file at the Ohio State University Extension Office between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. the second Saturday May of the current year. Lease forms and hardship cases will be reviewed at the May Junior Fair Board Horse Committee meeting.

After the second Saturday in May of the current year, Junior Fair horse project animals may not be in the hands of a professional trainer. The horse may be boarded at a trainer's stable, but cannot be in a professional training program conducted by a professional trainer. Member and horse may take riding lessons together. Any instruction given to the member and their project animal whether on the ground or the instructor mounting the horse for training is acceptable provided the exhibitor is an equal participant. 14. Clermont County Junior Fair horse exhibitors may take two equine projects to the county fair. They must designate which horse/pony they are attempting to qualify on at the Ohio State Fair Qualifying Show. The animal that the exhibitor qualifies on must be the one that they compete on at the Ohio State Fair. Exhibitors also may carry a production project, driving, and/or basic training project. 15. Unsportsmanlike conduct toward judges, show management or other exhibitors will not be tolerated.

Donkeys and mules - exhibitor may be assisted by the ringmaster to trot in showmanship. Production - exhibitor may have another exhibitor handle the second animal. 18. GROOMING OF THE JUNIOR FAIR PROJECT ANIMAL FOR SHOW IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, THEREFORE: All horse grooming at the Clermont County Fair must be done on the fairgrounds by the exhibitor. They may have assistance from their immediate family members, Clermont County 4-H Advisors or other current Clermont County Junior Fair exhibitors (showing at the Clermont County Fair in the current year). The Junior Fair exhibitor seeking assistance must be present at the time the grooming is taking place. Failure to observe this rule may result in being disqualified from showing at the Clermont County Fair Junior Horse Show. (All State Fair bound exhibitors are asked to review the sections of the Uniform Horse Rules dealing with "instruction" or other pertinent topics.) 19. Lessons, instruction and advice for the member are encouraged. As long as the member is present in a learning situation, such assistance can include occasional riding or handling of the horse by another person, but cannot include regular training and care of the horse within 30 days of competition in any State Fair Qualifying Show or the State Fair Junior Horse Show. Showing a 4-H member’s project in a class at a show is not considered training. However, if the project animal is shown by someone other than the 4-H member in an open or breed show within 30 days prior to the 4-H competition, the 4-H member must be present and must show the project in that show. Family members can ride a 4-Her’s project horse without the 4-H member being present within the 30-day limit as long as it is not a daily occurrence and is merely for pleasure (example: Trail riding with relatives or friends) and does not include training the horse for the show ring. 20. Horse stall assignments for the week of the Clermont County Fair will be made by the Junior Fair Horse Adult Consultants determined by taking into account the number of days the exhibitor will be showing and the number of stalls requested by each club. No exhibitor will be assigned more than one stall. 21. Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning their stalls and area. See Rule 3 under Care and Handling in the General Livestock Rules. 22. Before all riding classes begin each day, the judge will inspect horse, rider and tack. Western tack and western clothing must be worn in contest classes. Helmets must be worn whenever the exhibitor is on the horse anywhere on the fairgrounds. 54 - 2020 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR

Mares may be shown beside their weanling, at the judge’s discretion. 24. An exhibitor must be in the Basic Training Project to compete in Basic Training classes. 25. Mares in the production project also may be shown as a saddle project. Showing a mare in a production class does not eliminate the animal from other Junior Fair classes. The exhibitor must be enrolled in a production project to show in production classes. 26. Pony classes may be divided into large pony and small pony classes, if necessary (as per size guidelines in the Uniform Horse Rules). 27. To be eligible to participate in the Mix It up Class, you must be 16 to 18 years of age by January 1 of the current year and must show in your age group division to compete.

The Champion Equine Showmanship winner will be determined by means of a special class, to be held Thursday of the fair after the Western Showmanship classes. This contest will include the Western, English, and Donkey/Mule showmanship Champions. First- and second-place winners of each age group showmanship division qualify to compete in the Equine Showman of Showmen Championship. Past winners of the Equine Showman of Showmen Contest are eligible to compete every other year. The Equine Champion will compete in the Showman of Showmen contest Friday of the fair. Exceptions to this are stated in
the Showmen of Showman Contest Rules. First- and second-place winners of horses, ponies and donkeys/mules may compete in Equine Showman of Showmen. 32. Winners of Novice and Intermediate Horsemanship or Equitation must move up to the next class the following year no matter what the age of the exhibitor or after two years of being novice or intermediate.

Wednesday (English) and Thursday (Western) Champion classes will be eliminated for Showmanship and Equitation/Horsemanship. English and Western Day Champion and Reserve Champion will be decided by a combination of points from three classes offered per division (Showmanship, Pleasure and Equitation/Horsemanship). The points system to be used is the same as the Champion Contest Horse/Pony. If a tiebreaker is needed, the winner will be determined by the score in Showmanship. If this is not available, then a verbal question from the judge will be used. 45.

State Fair Qualifying: Junior exhibitors must designate, from a list of State Fair classes, the classes in which they wish to qualify. They are limited to no more than four classes. A youth must qualify in two classes in order to go to the State Fair. If a person qualifies in more than two classes, they can choose which two they will enter at state fair.

A veterinary certificate must be filed with the Ohio State University Extension Office, by the exhibitor, prior to showing any horse under medication in a Junior Fair class (as stated in the State Uniform Horse Rules). Horses should be in reasonable health and condition. If an animal is questionable, the Clermont County Fair veterinarian will be asked to look at the animal. The veterinarian will determine show ability. The show judge also may dismiss a horse if he/she determines the animal is not in reasonable health or condition, with no questions asked. 52. The following shots will be required for the Clermont County Fair for all horses showing at the fair: Proof of these shots is required. a. Flu. b. Rhino. c. Tetanus. 53.
