OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of Horse Bowl Competition is to provide an opportunity for youth enrolled in 4-H horse projects, to demonstrate their knowledge of equine-related matters in a competitive setting, where attitudes of friendliness and fairness prevail. We hope that this competition will provide an educational experience for both participants and the spectators.
Horse Bowl Competition is held in much like a “GAME SHOW” format. There are up to 6 contestants at a time in each round, with elimination rounds held. Contestants use a “BUZZER” to answer a question “Tossed Up” to all contestants. Questions are taken from the following reference materials.
The top ten placing Juniors and top ten Seniors in the County competition are invited to be on the county team of each. Each team will be comprised of 4 members with an alternate, they will go on to compete at the State Horse Bowl contest held in the Spring at “Horse Roundup” The top finishing “seniors” at State will be invited to be on the State team that goes to Nationals.
