    K-State horse judging team claims two world titles

    History was made this fall when the Kansas State University horse judging team won two of the most prestigious contests offered for collegiate competitors.

    Not only did K-State win the American Paint Horse Association title in September, but also took home a victory in the American Quarter Horse Association contest, held in mid-November. It’s the first time any four-year school has accomplished this feat, winning both judging competitions.

    Like other livestock judging contests, horse judging requires team members to evaluate any of a dozen classes of horses, place them according to pre-determined criteria, and provide oral reasons for those placements to judges.

    The AQHA contest has been held for 40 years. K-State has won that contest four times in the past 11 years, most recently in 2017. The APHA contest is just in its fourth year. The team practiced roughly 10-12 hours a week outside of class time, sometimes between classes or early in the morning.
