Who doesnā€™t love a good Day!? šŸ˜

AGEQ 2311 Equine Science II spent time in Dennards looking at a wide variety of equine products. Students were put into groups and given different management scenarios ranging from new horse owner to high level training barns. They were tasked with creating supplies lists and then going throughout the store to create a budget for their supplies and determine which items were essential for the given scenario.

We had a blast!

The man behind the scenes!

Today we want to give a shout out to Mr. Bill, aka the guy who keeps everything fixed out at the Equine Center. If thereā€™s a broken tractor, leaking spigot, manure to be spread or a part that needs fixing, heā€™s our guy!

We couldnā€™t survive without him. Thanks for all you do Mr. Bill!

A big thank you to the NCTC IHSA Equestrian & Stock Horse Teams for riding a Ranch Riding class for AGEQ 1315 Horse Evaluation to judge for their class final! Following the Ranch Riding, students judged a class of Performance Mares. Students submitted their placings and will be giving sets of reasons over the classes as their final exam.

Wish them luck!

Safe to say we were roped in on this tour! Big thank you to for having Equine Science II out for a tour. Students learned about facility management, the roping industry and then got to watch different techniques for horses in various stages of training!

Suffice to say, we all left wanting to get into roping!

Itā€™s all in the genes! A big thank you to for having our Equine Reproduction class out for a tour this semester! Students learned about gene preservation, cloning, ICSI and the work that goes into these techniques.

Weā€™re thankful for the opportunity to learn about cutting edge reproduction technology!
