FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- The Department of Animal Science horse judging team recently earned top five honors at the Tulsa State Fair Intercollegiate Horse Judging contest. Mike Schultz, Rylie Bevil, Travis Hefley, Becca Schlote and Lauren Cheever were the judging team members that competed.
They competed against 12 teams in the senior division, and won fifth place overall. They also placed in several categories including: seventh in halter, fifth in performance and fourth in reasons. A couple of team members placed individually as well. Bevil placed eighth in reasons, and Cheever placed tenth in performance.
This was the first year for the competition; it marked the start of the fall judging season for the team.
