The annual 4-H Horse Stampede will be held Saturday, March 10 at the UNL Animal Science Building on East Campus. Stampede includes the 4-H state horse-related competitions which do not require a horse: Horse Bowl, Public Speaking, Demonstration and Art and Photography.
The contests are open to 4-H’ers ages 10–18 enrolled in the 4-H horse project (with the exception of the Art and Photography contests are open to all 4-H’ers ages 8–18). Lancaster County 4-H Council will pay the contest entry fees for Lancaster County 4-H’ers. Entry forms are due to the Extension office no later than Friday, Feb. 9.
Additional information on the individual competitions and entry forms are online at http://4h.unl.edu/horse/stampede. Stampede T-shirts will be available to participants for $5 if pre-ordered. There will be no concession stand on-site — box lunches will be available for $8 and must be pre-ordered. If you have questions or want to sponsor a trophy, contact the Extension office at 402-441-7180.
