Kansas Horse Council Foundation and Colby Community College Equestrians Association present the 2026 Kids Coloring Contest

KDWP Annual Photo Contest at EquiFest!

Don’t miss the ever-popular Ranch Rodeo Sunday afternoon at EquiFest. The competition is tough and exciting. Teams compete for prizes and bragging rights for who is BEST at what they do every day. This gives spectators an insight into the life of the ranch worker and some of the daily duties from roping, riding, and working as a team to bring home the beef! Grandstands fill up and teams are different each night, so grab a seat early and enjoy the pre-event festivities.

Youth can participate in this quality open horse judging contest that introduces the next generation of horse exhibitors and judges to current industry standards through a process of class evaluations and oral reasons. Ages 9 to 19 can compete. There are 2 age divisions and 2 skill divisions making more opportunities to compete at an appropriate level from entry to advanced. Teams of 3 or 4 contestants may compete. Individuals may compete. It’s a great practice contest for those in FFA, 4H or a breed association, but you are not required to be a member of these to compete!
