Hippology, directly derived,
means "the study of horses." The state hippology contest--usually held
in conjunction with the horse judging contest--rigorously tests the
4Her's intimate knowledge of horses and horse related items. At the
junior and intermediate level, there are two parts: a written exam and
an identification table. The senior level, as of last year, added a
slide section to the other two parts to emulate the national program.
Awards are given for individuals and teams, and the top four
individuals qualify to compete at the Eastern
National Horse Roundup.
