Horse Conditioning

Author: Gary Stockton

Planning Unit: Boone County CES

Major Program: Equine

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Many horse owners are unaware of proper conditioning and exercise needed for their horses to be a top notch athlete and several injuries have occurred because of this. After request from the NKY Horse Network for help in educating horse owners, I planned and conducted a program called "Conditioning and exercising your horse athlete". I worked with a local horse conditioning facilities and we invited horse owners and 4-H horse project youth to attend. Many of the participates stated that they had no knowledge of the issues that could occur with their horses when they are not properly conditioned.
