Hosting Missouri 4-H Youth for a farm tour at Maine Chance

Author: Fernanda Camargo

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Equine

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In May 2022 I hosted a group of 44 4-H youth from Missouri and several adults. I had been contacted by the organizer of this tour back in January, as she was requesting ideas of where they should visit. I made some recommendations, and could not allow them to come visit Kentucky and not visit UK's farm and learn about our program. 

The event included a tour of the Maine Chance Farm, and an overview of the Equine Science and Management degree, including the courses we teach, the requirements, internship, careers in the equine industry, and snapshot of our student population. 

Other faculty and staff that helped make this event a success were: Laurie Lawrence, Jamie MacLeod, Mary Jane Little, Kristine Urschel, and Savannah Robin.
