Local 4-H’ers gathered at Weybridge Elementary School for the 2025 Addison County 4-H Hippology and Quiz Bowl competitions. Participants tested their equine knowledge in hippology, which included identification stations, judging horses, a written test, and a slide show. Winners were determined based on scores from all four phases.

In the hippology competition, Normandie Cesario, Iris Bassett, and Tessa Buskey were among the winners in their respective age groups. In the quiz bowl competition, Normandie Cesario and Tessa Buskey also took first place in their age groups. The event was organized by Addison County Extension 4-H Educator Martha Seifert, with assistance from Kathy and Cassie Kennett and parent volunteers.

The rosette ribbons presented to the winners were provided by the Addison County 4-H Foundation. For more information about 4-H horse events in Addison County, individuals can contact Martha Seifert at (802) 656-7547 or [email protected].
