Horse Bowl and Hippology

This information will stay up for those going to County, State, or National (seniors only) competitions.

Horse Bowl and Hippology

Horse Bowl-

  Horsebowl is a competition where 4H members sit at buzzers.  The facilitator asks a question and the first person to hit the buzzer and answers correctly earns a point.  An incorrect answer loses a point.  At the end of the rounds, the people with the most points are asked to join the Middlesex County team.  This team then competes against the other 4H counties in the state competition in April.  The top five seniors at the State competition then get an opportunity to compete at the National competition in Kentucky in November.

 Hippology-

  Hippology takes place right before Horse Bowl.  Hippology is a written test that tests your knowledge of horses.  The top scorers also join the County team for the state competition in April 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
