The Penn State Extension Equine Team is a group of educators who work with the Pennsylvania horse community.
We provide educational content like workshops, webinars, and fact sheets to help you take better care of your horse and your farm.
Don’t miss our brand-new workshop, Equine Nutrition Essentials!
This full-day, in-person class will take place in Exton, Pa., on Nov.15 from 9am to 5pm and will be perfect for anyone looking to demystify feeding horses.
There may be an overwhelming number of products on the market, but the foundations of equine nutrition are pretty simple.
During this workshop, you will learn from equine nutrition experts from Penn State University and Rutgers University.
We will cover the gastrointestinal tract and the six essential nutrients needed by horses, feeding forages, feeding grains, supplements, nutritional disorders, and feeding the horse as an individual.
There will be hands-on activities and plenty of time for questions and answers.
You will practice choosing rations for different types of horses.
Please note that completing the workshop does not certify anyone to be an equine nutritionist or consultant.
Registration costs $75 per person and includes lunch and printed materials.
