FHSU Block & Bridle - Fun for everyone!

About Us

FHSU Block & Bridle is part of a national animal science organization. Our purpose is to promote interest in numerous fields of study. We provide social, educational, leadership, and award opportunities.

FHSU members participate in fundraisers, a showing and fitting competition, intramurals, Ag. Awareness, and attend the National Block & Bridle Convention in Washington, D.C. They also host an FFA Dairy Judging Contest and a Junior College Livestock Judging Contest and participate in many social functions.

What do we stand for??

The Block and Bridle emblem is very significant to club members, as it represents the principles on which our club is built. Character, sincerity and a moral life are asked of members when they are initiated into the club and are depicted in the straight perpendicular of the “B.” The distinct curves of the “B” are symbolic of social pleasure, mental energy, and the determination of members.
The meat block represents the material aspects of our life and our profession. The bottom half, the bridle, stands for the behavior of the Block and Bridle members, the control over ourselves that we try to maintain, the mannerisms and respect we show toward others, and the manner with which we treat animals.
