| Impact Report | Objective #2 Competitive Events County Competitive events and contest trainings were conducted to expand life skills and knowledge. 99% of the members who competed in the county contests advanced to District/State level competition. Contest areas included: Consumer Decision Making, Favorite Foods, Creative Touches-Clothing Revue, Horse Judging, Livestock Judging, Livestock Skillathon, Hippology, Horticulture,Public Speaking. 95% of the youth reported an increase in mastery skills such as planning and organization. They also increased mastery and independence related to teamwork, character and critical thinking as evidenced by teamwork, positive sportsmanship and completion of project related activities. The NM State 4-H Hippology Team consisting of Union COunty members: Bethany Riley, Laekyn Reust, Julie Vandiver, and Lauren Gilbert, tam coachs Sug Farrington and Owida Franz attended the National Western 4-H Roundup Hippology Contest at the National Western Stock Show in Denver Colorado in January. The team place fifth in the Horse Judging Phase with Bethany Riley being High Point Individual in the Horse Judging Phase. Since we had never taken a team to this contest, we felt that the members did well. There is a lot of information to study and we found out in September that we were going so they had a short amount of time to study. Since this is the only Hippology contest outside of the state that they can compete in, it would be nice if a team could qualify for the contest more than once since it is such a indepth contest. |
