State Horse Contests
Each July, youth from throughout Idaho gather at a select site for the Idaho's 4-H Youth Horse Contests, building on learning experiences at the club, county and/or district level. Each event enables youth to compare their skills/knowledge and potentially qualify to represent Idaho at a national horse contest.
Current contest categories include:
- Hippology
- Horse Bowl
- Horse Judging
- Oral Presentations — Individual Demonstration
- Oral Presentations — Team Demonstration
- Oral Presentations — Public Speaking
See the Rules Page for a description and specific rules governing each of these events.
The number of entries allotted to each ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ Extension district, registration procedures, entry deadlines and other eligibility requirements are set forth within the Idaho's 4-H Youth Horse Contest Booklet (PDF).
