Horse College is a program for the adult horse owner. For the past seven years this educational activity has delivered material to both new and long-term horse owners across the state. Since its inception, the program has been given in more than 60 counties and reached more than 700 horse owners. The program covers topic areas related to nutrition, herd health, hoof care, facilities, pasture, tack and equipment, conformation, and basic reproduction. The basic program is four seminars with county Extension agents selecting the topic areas in collaboration with the horse specialist. The hoof care session is delivered by an instructor provided by the Kentucky Horse Shoeing School, while the herd health program is given by a local veterinarian or a practitioner from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington.

The program is hosted by county Extension agents with two to four counties participating in each Horse College. In 2006, a Horse College was hosted by the Boyd County Extension office with more than 75 participants from seven counties and three states, indicating that if contact can be made with the recreation horse owner, they will attend educational activities. This is the fourth program offered in this area.

A program developed based on the Master Grazer program is the Horse Owner Grazing School. This program started in the spring of 2007 and was the result of requests from horse owners who had attended the Master Grazer but were looking for information directly related to the horse. The first two programs were hosted at two locations (Boyd, Carter, and Greenup counties and Henry, Shelby, Oldham, and Trimble counties). The seminar section was similar to Master Grazer, but the focus was on horse owners with smaller tracts of land. In addition to the seminars, participants were invited to a field day at UK’s Maine Chance Farm to look at grazing selection plots, learn to use a grazing stick, and discuss best management practices related to pasture. This activity has been given to more than 125 participants in 14 counties in the two years it has been offered.
