Kansas 4-H Horse Panorama
The 2024 4-H Horse Panorama is scheduled for January 27, 2024, at K-State Salina. A schedule of events is located on the 4-H Horse Panorama website. 4-H Horse members are encouraged to register to participate in Horse Bowl, Hippology, presentations and more.
Horse Bowl encourages young people to develop knowledge of equine-related subject matter. This contest develops alertness, self-confidence, and knowledge in a competitive setting, surrounded by an attitude of friendliness and fairness.
Senior Horse Bowl members must sign-up as a team of at least four team members with all members age 14 by January 2, 2024. The senior teams will compete in a double elimination bracket.
Open Horse Bowl is available for all youth participants. Those youth registering for Open Horse Bowl will compete individually with other youth from across the state for a fun, educational experience. Be sure to read the updated rules to familiarize yourself with changes for 2024.
Senior Horse Bowl Teams and Open Horse Bowl participants are being asked to submit possible questions. These are not required but encouraged. A senior team can submit 5-10, and open individuals can submit 2-4 questions each. These questions will be vetted before being added to the contest. This allows youth to learn content through the writing process, the possibility of having their question used during their round, as well as revamping our aged bank of questions over the next several years. Resources and question structure can be found in the contest rules.
Hippology is an educational activity for youth who wish to demonstrate their knowledge of equine-related subject matter in a friendly, competitive setting. This contest enhances decision-making and provides an opportunity for the participants to work cooperatively with others.
Virtual contests for 2024 will be Photography, Logo Design, Ad Layout, Poster and PowerPoint. Exhibits must be submitted via email to klnordyke@ksu.edu by January 20, 2024. Participants in virtual contests need not be present at Horse Panorama to participate in the virtual contests. Members participating only in virtual contests will not be charged a registration fee. More information about the virtual contest can be found on the Panorama event webpage.
**New for 2024** A first-timers opportunity will be provided for youth to explore hippology. Adults who volunteer to assist with the day's events can register at a reduced rate.
The 2024 4-H Horse Panorama registration will be completed through Qualtrics at the link provided on the 4-H Horse Panorama website. Adults and additional youth attending must also register. Registration is due January 2, 2024. Payment must be made by check.
