4-H Horse Hippology and Horse Bowl

Our project hosts Hippology, or horse science, and Horse Bowl lessons Monday evenings, October-February. You will learn about horse anatomy, care, nutrition, and equipment. We have a county, regional and state contest where you are tested on your knowledge and compete against other 4-Hers. Any 4-H’er can join — you don’t need to be in the horse project or own a horse. It’s a fun way to learn about horses with all your horsey friends!
