The North Dakota 4-H’ers who competed in these state 4-H equine contests in 2018 demonstrated perseverance and flexibility after being faced with a challenging year, according to Leigh Ann Skurupey, the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s 4-H animal and equine sciences 4-H youth development specialist. Unforeseen weather and biosecurity measures needed at the NDSU Equine Center meant the events had to be held elsewhere.

“A special thank you goes to Nicky Overgaard at the University of Minnesota Crookston for hosting the state 4-H and FFA horse judging contest and the state 4-H hippology contest this year,” Skurupey adds. “The hospitality they showed us was priceless.”

Skurupey also praised the youth and coaches for their efforts.

“The 4-H’ers’ hard work and dedication in preparing for these contests are immeasurable,” she notes. “The life and career skills gained from these contests far surpass the incredible equine knowledge gained.

“A special thank you also goes to the coaches for their understanding characters, recruitment in volunteers and positive attitudes that helped drive the success of each contest this year,” she says. “Your positivity truly shined through to your teams, which was exciting to see within each contest.”
