4-H Horse Communications Contest

  • Thursday, March 14, 2024, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM

Youth choose an equine topic of interest, research the topic, and conduct a structured presentation on the topic. Individual presentations, demonstrations, team presentations, and impromptu speeches (ideal for those teens with little time to prepare a full presentation; simply show up, randomly select a topic from a hat, prepare a speech with given resources and a time period, and present!) are the types of presentations that are encouraged.

To register, email Mark (mjw16@cornell.edu) with the following information no later than March 11th: 

  • Presenter Name & Age as of 1/1/24 
  • Presentation Title & Technology/Equipment Needs 
  • Division 
  • Regional Event Consideration (must qualify at county event)

Pre-assigned presentation times begin at 5pm. Points for Horseman of the Year and State Fair 4-H Horse Show qualifying will be awarded to participants.

REGIONAL CONTEST: Saturday, April 20th | Manor Intermediate School, Honeoye Falls-Lima CSD

Fee

Why Should I Enter?

  • When a former 4-H member is asked, “What did you gain through 4-H that has made the most impact on your career success?” the skill most often mentioned is public speaking.
  • 4-H public speaking listed on scholarship and award applications is very impressive to those making these types of selections!
  • Public speaking is one of the (if not the) most critical skills needed for young people to succeed in school, college/technical school, job, career, and relationships!
  • Counts towards non-mounted education points needed to qualify for the State Fair 4-H horse show and the Horseman of the Year Program.
