Equine Exhibition Manager training

This course provides training for managers of equine exhibitions in Minnesota. It addresses the concerns of the Minnesota horse show industry while aligning with the Minnesota Board of Animal Health’s (BAH) mission to protect the health of domestic animals through education and stakeholder collaboration. The course helps managers meet state requirements and confidently host safe exhibitions for horses and attendees.

Three course modules cover the responsibilities of equine exhibition managers, requirements for horses to be exhibited, and how to apply for exhibition permits. Each module is self-paced and is expected to take 30 minutes to complete.

Those who successfully complete the course will earn a certificate valid through January 1, 2030. Managers can use this certificate to support a rule variance petition for MN Administrative Rule 1721.0100, Subpart 4. Participants must correctly answer 80% of the course quiz questions to receive a certificate.
