Joellen Harrington of Taylor County participated in the horse public speaking contest. Harrington earned the right to compete at the national level by winning the state competition, said extension 4-H specialist Denise Schwab. "Horse public speaking is a talk about any horse related topic," Schwab said. "It is usually about seven to 10 minutes and length and there are no visual aids used." The trip was sponsored by the Iowa 4-H Equine Endowment fund and the Iowa 4-H Foundation. For more information about 4-H horse programs, contact your county Iowa State University Extension office. -30- eh
