USEF/USHJA ZONE 12 |
 2007 Horsemanship Challenge Results3' Division Zone 12 Horsemanship ChallengeThe Zone 12 Horsemanship Challenge is a competition in all-around horsemanship. It rewards junior riders with the know-how to care for their horses, not just the rider with the fanciest mount. To win, entrants must not only ride well but do well on a written quiz and demonstrate practical skills such as wrapping a horse's legs. The 2007 Challenge was held September 16, 2007, at the William Clark Chamberlin Equestrian Center in Anchorage. Riders competed in two rounds over fences and a flat class, which was judged by the USEF R-rated Zone Finals judge Sharon Stewart-Wells, as well as in a written quiz and the practical exam. Divisions were offered at 3'0" and 2'6" for 2007. See the registration form for further details. Zone 12 Horsemanship Challenge Coordinator Rebecca Weiant chose the "C" Level U.S. Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship as the study guide for the 2007 Challenge. She used this book as her source for the written quiz and practical test items. The Pony Club "C" Manual is available at bookstores or online. Here are some hints on the type of question that might be asked in the written quiz and the practical exam. Zone 12's annual Challenge is open to all juniors, not just Zone 12 members. Zone 12 invites all ASH members, Pony Clubbers, and 4-H riders to show what you've learned! |
