Logan 4-H members qualify to compete at State Horse Contest

 

[May 29, 2020]  LINCOLN - Logan County 4-H members recently competed in an online Regional Horse Hippology Contest and qualified to advance to the State Hippology Contest. Due to COVID 19 social distancing restrictions these contests are taking place ‘virtually’ in 2020.

For Hippology, participants took a 50 question multiple choice exam covering a wide range of equine information and viewed 10 horse stations where youth are required to answer 10 questions at each station testing their knowledge of horse health, breed characteristics, management, and feeding. 

Logan 4-H participants included Ruthie Ruhl, member of the Topper 4-H Club, in the Senior division and Kristy Morrow, member of the Cloverdale 4-H Club, in the Intermediate division. Both will be advancing to the State Hippology Contest to be held at a later date.
