The Genesee County 4-H Horse Program was well-represented at the Finger Lakes Region 4-H Horse Extravaganza on Saturday, March 2, at Honeoye Falls Intermediate School. 4-H youth from across the Finger Lakes region competed in Horse Bowl and Hippology Contests at the event. Horse Bowl is a Jeopardy-style competition that tests participants’ knowledge of equine facts, including breeds, equipment, nutrition and more. Hippology is a hands-on test of identifying equipment, feeds and other equine facts. Top placing participants will have the opportunity to represent the region at the state level contests at Cornell University and the New York State Fair later this year. The Genesee County 4-H Horse Bowl Club is led by coaches Eva Rhoads and Jomni Tarbell.
