If the primary project animal dies, is injured, sick or becomes
unmanageable during the project year, it may be substituted.
The substitute animal must have an Identification sheet, which
was submitted with original equine’s Identification sheet by the
deadline of May 1. If such substitution results in a premium

The Superintendent recommends that each member submit more than
one animal for identification whenever possible.

Once a horse is checked in and unloaded it may not leave the
fairgrounds until after

Substitution for the project equine checked in on Tuesday of
fair week can be considered only if the animal died, is injured,
or sick. Written verification by a veterinarian is required.
The substitute animal must have an Identification sheet, which
was submitted with original equine’s Identification sheet by the

submit more than one animal for identification whenever

may not be exhibited during that year’s fair. Review and
