Gauging Interest in Horse Bowl and Hippology

| Announcements, Contests |

As we plan 4-H horse events for this year, we are gauging interest in Hippology and Horse Bowl. Please let us know if you or your club members are interested in participating in a Hippology or Horse Bowl Contest this year.  These events require many hours of planning and preparation.  If there is not enough interest this year, the Contest(s) will be canceled.

Hippology Contest

Hippology is an activity that can enhance learning for 4-H members by letting them exhibit their knowledge and understanding of equine science and husbandry in a competitive setting. The term Hippology comes from the Greek hippo, meaning horse, and ology, meaning the study of. Participants will be able to demonstrate their experience and knowledge gained in horse judging, horse bowl, speeches, and practical horse management.
Hippology consists of four phases: Horse Judging, Written Examination and Slide Identification, ID Stations, and Team Problem Solving.

The Larimer County Hippology Contest will be Saturday, April 10, 2021. If you are interested in Hippology, please contact Debbie Dehn at rwdehn@aol.com.

Horse Bowl Contest

Horse Bowl is an exciting, fast-paced knowledge competition where teams compete against each other. There are junior and senior teams. The winning senior team will go on to the State Competition in June. Teams can be formed through individual clubs or members of different clubs can get together to form a team. This is a great way to prepare for the coming year and your next levels test. So, grab your Horse Manual and start studying! At this time, all club practices must adhere to COVID guidelines. Your key leaders are working to set up some countywide virtual practices beginning in February. If you would like to join a team, but your club does not have enough horse/horseless horse members to make a team, contact the Extension Office at 970-498-6000 for help with finding a team.

The Larimer County Horse Bowl Contest will be Saturday April 24, 2021. If you are interested in Horse Bowl, please contact Debbie Dehn at rwdehn@aol.com.
