Success StoryBasic Equine Series



Basic Equine Series

Author: Garrard Coffey

Planning Unit: Rockcastle County CES

Major Program: Equine

Plan of Work: Improve Livestock Production and Management Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In cooperation with University of Kentucky Equine Specialist, Dr. Bob Coleman, a basic equine care series was recored and releases on social media outlets.  Audio and video was recorded on topics of care of tack, basic grooming and shoeing, saddling your horse and what does my horse weigh.  The basic care audio was recorded with Dr. Coleman and the video was then recorded to demonstrate what Dr. Coleman was referring to.  This was then edited using software and published to social media.   So far 2 of the videos of have been published on social media with the other 2 being released in the future. 

To this time of writing the first 2 videos have a reach of almost 900 people from facebook and youtube views.  I have had 2 people say that the videos were informative and that they learned something new and several people have followed up with questions and comments.  This has been a very successful program that has had a good response and will be continued into the future.
