​9/7/22 @ 9:00 a.m. - 

​We are excited to announce that Nassau County’s 4-H Youth Development Hippology Team is heading to a national competition November 4 – November 6, 2022, in Louisville, Kentucky. Team members, Emma Norstrem, Charlie Norstrem, Raelin Tew, and Lauren Walters will compete against other 4-H Youth Development Hippology teams from around the country, proving their individual and team mastery of equine sciences.
 
The term “Hippology” comes from the Greek “hippo”, meaning horse, and “ology”, meaning the “study of”. A Hippology contest is designed to test a youth’s knowledge of equine science, as well as vet science and farm management. Participants may be asked to identify anatomy, breeds, and pieces of equipment through a variety of verbal and written tests.
 
Just a few short years ago, Nassau County’s Hippology team began their progress towards the national competition, led by the County’s 4-H Extension Agent, Kelsey Irvine. This year, the team won the State Hippology contest and successfully earned a spot at the national competition.
 
Kelsey Irvine stated, “The youth have worked hard for several years to qualify for this event by studying and practicing their skills. We are very excited to support them in Louisville. We are also very proud of their overall success and their dedication in improving their mastery within the equine science program.”
 
Please join us in congratulating the Nassau 4-H Hippology Team for securing their place at nationals! We know they’re going to do a great job and look forward to sharing their success with the community upon their return.
