Event Description
The 4-H horse program has an enrollment of over 260,000 – the largest of the animal-oriented projects and one of the most popular projects with great appeal to both boys and girls. Beginning in 1968 as the Northeast Regional 4-H Horse Judging Contest, held at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the activities were expanded in 1972 to include a 4-H Horse Bowl Contest. The event was officially approved as the National 4-H Horse Roundup in 1978. Three new contests – 4-H Horse Public Speaking, 4-H Horse Demonstration-Individual, and 4-H Horse Demonstration – Team – were added in 1982.
