The West Central District 4-H Horse Bowl Contest was Jan. 24 at the Caldwell County Extension Office.
This contest allows 4-H members to use their knowledge of horses and related subject matter to compete on a four-member team. Teams are divided according to age into three categories: junior, mixed (with both junior and senior members), and senior.
Rowan County had one team participate in the event. The members of the mixed team were Micah Furr, Alex Hipp, Savanah Hipp and Taylor Pence with Trilby Kirk serving as an alternate. The team was coached by 4-H leaders Ann Furr and Lisa Wagner.
The mixed team placed fifth in the district.
