Horse Bowl & Hippology
Our Horse Bowl team is coached by Cindy Metzger. In this event, youth are able to showcase their horse knowledge in a competitive, jeopardy- like contest. This contest involves a series of questions that are asked either of a specific individual or a team. If you are interested in joining Horse Bowl, contact Cindy or another board member for more information.
Our Hippology team is coached by Laura Wilburn. 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". If you are interested in joining our Hippology team, contact Laura or another board member for more information.
