2025 NC State 4-H Horse Show Results

(Updated: Sept. 2, 2025, 7:41 a.m.)

The NC 4-H Horse Program is excited to announce the results of the 2025 NC State 4-H Horse Show, held from July 9-13 at the James B. Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. The show brought together 217 horse-and-rider combinations from 38 counties, competing in 21 different divisions. A total of 1,510 class entries were made across 150 classes, showcasing the incredible talent and hard work of North Carolina's 4-H youth.


This year's show was dedicated to Jose Silva, the Maintenance/Construction Coordinator for the James B. Hunt Horse Complex, in recognition of his tireless efforts and dedication to the NC State 4-H Horse Show.


Champions in each division were awarded belt buckles and tri-color ribbons, while reserve champions received embroidered grooming bags and tri-color ribbons. The champions of the popular versatility classes were presented with bicycles generously donated by Equine Event Planning, along with neck ribbons. In Dressage, high ride winners were honored with engraved picture frames.


The NC 4-H Horse Program extends its sincere gratitude to all the sponsors who made this event possible. Individual class sponsors are recognized at the top of the class results pages, and division sponsors are listed on the high point reports for each division. Your support is invaluable to the success of our program and the development of our young riders.
