Visual Presentation Info
Club VP Information
VPs this year were done on Saturdays
in February. Everyone was required to do a visual presentation, except for first year members who don't ride at the
barn.
VPs must: be 3-10
minutes long for Juniors (7-10 for seniors), have posters to explain your speech, have lettering on the posters that's readable
from 20 feet away, have visual aids, cannot be read from a paper or cards, need a table cover and a pointer.
Congrats to County Winners!!
Cory, Abby, Sarah, Brittney, Lillian, Becky and Katey all earned blue ribbons at the County VP competition.
Each presented the visual presentation they did at Sue's before a panel of three judges. Plus, Lillian, Brittney, Katey
and Abby all earned ribbons that gives them the honor of showing their VP at the Big E in West Springfield in the fall.
Cory, Abby, Becky, Lillian and Katey all earned green rosettes which enters them in the state competition. They travel
to Bedford on April 4 to compete against 4Hers across the state!
Congratulations!!

If you
want to train as a judge, there's a certification workshop at Horsebowl.
Horse
Bowl and Hippology
Horse Bowl- Horse Bowl is a speed game, where
members are put into rounds and heats and then given a buzzer. A question will be asked, and the first member to buzz
in and get the question right will get one point. A wrong answer results in a lost point. The top ten highest
scores will move on to States. Seniors, if they score well enough at States, have a chance to move on to Nationals.
Hippology- Hippology takes place right before Horse
Bowl. Hippology is a test that members will take, based on their age. The top ten highest scores will move on
to States, and from there can move on to Nationals for Seniors. These tests are often very hard, so don't be disappointed
if you get a bad score.

3, 6 and 8.
Good luck to everyone!
