Collapse ▲The 2025 North Carolina State 4-H Horse Program Educational Teams recently completed a highly successful fall contest season at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup in Louisville, Kentucky.

- Hippology

Noteworthy Achievements
The team’s effort was complemented by strong individual accomplishments:
- Three North Carolina 4-H’ers were awarded $500 scholarships based on their high scores in their respective events.
- Emmy Creek (Wake County 4-H) earned the recognition of high-scoring individual in Hippology.
