Region 2 Youth, if you are interested in participating in a hippology contest, our Youth Coordinator, Misty Odett is putting out a 25 question hippology quiz over the weekend of the Region 1/Region 2 horse show. This is the first quiz in a series and you could potentially win some big year end prizes for your participation. We plan on putting out 4 quizzes this year. Your total points will be added up and at the end of the season, the top 3 will receive hi-point awards and may potentially participate in the National contest this October in Oklahoma.
To participate in the contest, all you have to do is email Misty at mistyodett@takingthereins.org with your name, age and email address. On Jan 22 the quiz will be emailed to you via google docs and you will have the weekend to complete the quiz. This quiz will cover the following categories: Digestion-ID the parts of the digestive tract, functions and capacity/size; Anatomy - parts of the hoof; Farrier tools and shoes; Colors and Markings.
