held recently in Barks County.
The Horse Bowl is a setting
similar to the “College Bowl.”
A tossTup question is presented

receives points.
When the question period is
over, the highest scoring team is
the winner and goes on to play
other teams.
The questions are horse-related
and can be very technical. The
Horse Bowl team design helps
4-H members explore horse sci
