Write a commentCornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H Program’s Horse Bowl members competed at the Region 3A Horse Bowl, held in Mexico on March 7th.
Youth from St. Lawrence and Oswego counties competed to test their knowledge on equine subject matter.
Oswego County participants were Junior members: Olivia Killam, Kacee Killam, Mara Macomber, Carlee Murphy, and Maddy Wakeman, and Senior members: Aeris Moore and Autumn Warring. Congratulations to everyone for the great job they did!
Each of these 4-H’ers has earned the opportunity to advance and compete at the New York State 4-H Horse Bowl State Level Event. They will partner with their friends from St. Lawrence to represent the 3A Region of Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Oswego counties.
We would like to thank the local volunteers that helped with the Region 3A event: Kay Atkinson, Dr. Jessica Clarke, Ruthanne Dreibelbis, and Libby Petrocci, as well as the many parents that helped to time and keep score. We especially want to thank our Oswego County coaches: Joelle Sawyer and Morgan Schultz, Junior Team, and Jen Harter, Senior Team, for their patience, knowledge, and guidance throughout the Horse Bowl season. It is the volunteers of 4-H that provide the backbone to its wonderful program!
