Equine Field Day

Author: Matthew Chadwick

Planning Unit: Calloway County CES

Major Program: Equine

Plan of Work: Local Foods and Small Farms

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Together with the Caldwell, Livingston, Trigg, and Crittenden county extension offices we hosted the annual UK Equine Field Day. As a state level event it was excellent event, it was a very quality program to bring to West. KY. Due to sponsors we were able to offer the event a no cost to the 60 plus attendees.  Program participants learned about the unique grazing requirements of horses, opportunities for funding available through NRCS, the benefits to digestive aids and the availability of niche markets for horse people to fund their passions. The event was held at the Weber’s Retired Horse farm.
