All forms must be filled out, signed by the club leader (on the line directly after the last animal listed) and signed and embossed here in the county office. 4-H\u2019ers will receive a signed and embossed copy in the mail within approximately two weeks of the form being received in our office. The sooner they arrive in, the sooner you will have them back. <strong>Please pay special attention to the second side of the form which lists the proper identification needed for each species of animal.<\/strong> It is very important that this information, along with a signed lease form for any animal that you lease, is sent with your animal approval form. Forms will not be signed if there are leased animals on the form and no lease form, or if there is no extra identification for species of animals that need it. Please also note that each animal may only be leased by one 4-Her and listed on only one 4-Her\u2019s animal approval form. The only exception is that one horse may be leased by two 4-H members and listed on two 4-Her\u2019s animal approval forms. A maximum of 20 animals per species that require an animal approval form may be leased by a member.<\/p>\n<p>Please note if you would like your Animal Approvals back to you in order to participate in Ossipee Valley Fair, they must be to the office no later than June 14 to allow time for review, processing, and return mailing.<strong> Any approvals arriving after June 14th will be date stamped accordingly but cannot be guaranteed to be returned to you before Ossipee Valley Fair due to staff programming commitments &amp; vacations.

Most Maine fairs now require proof of insurance in order to exhibit livestock at their fairs. Proof of insurance usually is requested for individuals including the exhibitor (4-H member), owner of the animal, and anyone who may be responsible for maintaining the animal at the event (ex. parents or volunteers).<\/p>\n<p>Some fairs no longer allow homeowner insurance policies. Please check your specific fair to see what they accept. Most fairs do accept the Maine Association of Livestock Exhibitors (MALE) insurance. Below is the information for the MALE insurance.<\/p>\n<p>The MALE annual membership renewal is in June. The year\u2019s membership ends on <span class=\"aBn\"><span class=\"aQJ\">June 30<\/span><\/span>. A benefit of being a member of this association includes liability insurance at specific events, including Maine fairs. Please refer to the events that it does cover for the state. Also, as a clarification, as of July 1, 2011, this insurance is a display and exhibitors policy; therefore the following activities are not covered: equine racing, trotting, barrel racing, steeplechase, rodeos, and team penning; and any and all ox, steer, pony and horse rides, wagon, sleigh, and hay rides and dog and sheep dog activities.

My friend and I got a ride on a carriage pulled by two haflingers, and we painted Breyer Stablemates. The company Breyer also had a representative there with a trailer full of Breyer horses for sale. Miniature horses also gave carriage rides. There also was an Icelandic horse, named Brenna, who demonstrated for us some of the gates unique to the Icelandic horse. Other fun activities included watching a <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33671 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/cumberland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/05\/IMG_7176-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"6 women arounda table with horse brushes and paint\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/cumberland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/05\/IMG_7176-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/cumberland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/05\/IMG_7176-105x90.jpg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/cumberland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/05\/IMG_7176-317x273.jpg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/cumberland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/05\/IMG_7176.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/>demonstration by a blacksmith and seeing some dog tricks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The equine club met Tuesday, the 21st and we reflected on service projects from spring break and talked about possibly doing a bake sale\/lemonade stand at Tractor Supply\u00a0 Co. We missed the goat club this month because we had to split meetings due to other events. Some members of our club had previously won a ton of horse brushes, so we were asked to bring paint and paintbrushes to paint the brushes. Clara D. showed some of us some drawing and painting tips, like a graphite transfer. Cool designs, clover leaves, horse names and tons of glitter were included in our masterpieces and you can check them out in a display at the Cumberland Fair this year. We\u2019re all also really excited to get back to our mounted meetings this summer!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Your 4-H Club Happenings could be featured here!
