🐴 Saddle Up for Horse Skill-a-thon! 🏆

Think you know your horses? 🤔🐴

Ready to put your horse knowledge to the test? Then Horse Skill-a-thon is the place to be! 🎉

The Horse Advisory Committee is excited to host TWO Horse Skill-a-thon contests this year! That means you have TWO chances to show off what you know, earn points, and compete for the top spot! 🏆

📚 Junior • Intermediate • Senior

We will combine your scores from both contests, and at the second contest we’ll crown the Top Two in each division! 🥇🥈

📅 Save the Dates!

🐎 January 30 – Maricopa, AZ
🐎 April 3 – Apache Junction, AZ

Registration is now open in ZSuites, so don’t wait until the last minute! Registration will close one week before each contest.

This is a great way to learn more about horses, challenge yourself, and have some fun with your fellow 4-H horse friends! Whether you’re a Skill-a-thon pro or this is your first time, come test your knowledge! 💪🐴

So grab those study guides, dust off your horse knowledge, and SADDLE UP! 🤠

Will you be one of our Skill-a-thon champions? 🏆
