Hippology (from Greek: ἵππος, ''hippos'', "horse"; and λόγος, ''logos'', "study") is the study of the horse. Today, Hippology is the title of an Equine Veterinary and Management Knowledge Contest that is used in 4-H, FFA and many horse breed contests. Hippology consists of four phases: Horse Judging, Written Examination and Slide Identification, ID Stations and Team Problem Solving. Many youth across the United States, and in other countries compete in Hippology annually, showing their knowledge of all things "horse". Items covered in the contest may cover any equine subject, i.e., Reproduction, Training, Parasites, Dressage, History and Origins, Anatomy and Physiology, Driving and Harnessing, Horse Industry, Horse Management, Breeds, Genetics, Western Games, Colors, Famous Horses in History, Parts of the Saddle, Types of Bits, Gaits, Competitions, Poisonous Plants and Nutrition. ==Horse Judging== The horse judging phase generally includes judging both a halter class and an "under saddle" class (such as western pleasure, hunter under saddle, etc.). The classes involve 4 horses and contestants are given a judging card to place the horses. Unlike the Horse Judging competitions, Hippology competitors are not expected to give reasons, but only place the classes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「hippology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
