Franklin County 4-H'er Competes In National Horse Classic Event
A Franklin County 4-H'er recently represented Iowa at the National 4-H Horse Classic-Western Division Jan. 4 through 7 in Denver.
Robyn Abbey of Franklin County participated in the horse individual demonstration contest. Abbey earned the right to compete at the national level by winning the state competition, said extension 4-H specialist Denise Schwab.
"The horse individual demonstration is any demonstration or illustrated talk about any horse related topic," Schwab said. "It is usually about 10 to 15 minutes in length."
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.
