Texas State 4-H Horse Show
To Whom It May Concern:
The Texas State 4-H Horse Show is seeking bids for an equestrian facility for 2019-2023 to meet the
needs of a seven day horse show, last full week of July. Dates for the show are as follows:
2019: July 20-27
2020: July 18-25
2021: July 24-31
2022: July 23-30
2023: July 22-29
In 2017, the 55th Annual Texas State 4-H Horse Show had over 350 4-H youth, plus their families, come
from all over the state of Texas to compete in over 40 classes ranging from speed events, to stock horse
classes, to hunter classes. The Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau estimated an economic impact of
$887,400 along with 1416 room nights recorded for Abilene, Texas for the 2017 show.
Dr. Jennifer Zoller, TAMU Horse Specialist and Chelsie Huseman, TAMU Horse Program Specialist along
with numerous county agents, volunteers, and supporters manage the seven day show.
The Texas State 4-H Horse Show will be entering its 56th year in 2018. Its long standing history has
impacted countless 4-H youth over the decades. It continues to serve as a non-profit event providing
contestants and their families with a high-quality, safe, and low-cost outlet for education, competition,
and comradery. The show is seeking an equestrian facility and community that embraces the goals of
youth development and the impact horses can make in their lives.
Major advantages of this event for the BCS area include the timing which is in the late summer during
off peak patterns of tourism and travel in the area. Also, the assurance of an annual five year contract
and very possibly more(as it has been in one location for the past 3 decades), make it a most
attractive event for the local economy.
More information about the show can be viewed here: https://animalscience.tamu.edu/livestock-
species/equine/state-4h-show/.
The Brazos County Expo, on behalf of Judge Duane Peters and the Brazos County Commissioners are
excited to make a formal bid for this extraordinary event and we encourage the cities of Bryan/College
Station and Texas A&M University to join us in bringing this special event to our area.
