The Equipment and Facilities for the Small Acreage Horse Owner workshop is back for 2023. This year's program will focus on helping small and medium-sized horse farm owners and managers learn more about equipment, facility design, maintenance, and overall facility management.
The workshop will be held on September 12 at DesMar Stables in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. The day will begin with a presentation on tractor and equipment safety, followed by a discussion on the importance of farm layout. Participants will then have the opportunity to tour a variety of horse farms and learn about different approaches to facility design and management.
The workshop is designed for horse farm owners and managers of all experience levels. No prior knowledge is required.
"We want to focus on helping the smaller and medium-sized horse farm owners," said Linda McClanahan, Mercer County extension agent for agriculture and natural resources. "This field day will help those owners learn more about horse farm management to make their operations more efficient."
The workshop is sponsored by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. For more information, contact Mercer County Extension Office at 859-734-4378.
