Genesee County 4-H members Eva Rhoads and Alexandria Tarbell competed at the New York State 4-H Hippology and Horse Judging Contest at the Cortland Fairgrounds on September 11.  As a team, they placed second overall.  Individually in the Senior Division of the Hippology contest, Alexandria Tarbell placed fourth and Eva Rhoads placed ninth.   

The 4-H Hippology Contest is an opportunity for youth to demonstrate their knowledge of equine science.  The contest consisted of written questions, identification stations, horse judging, and a team problem.  Youth qualified to participate in the event by scoring well in their 4-H regional competition.
