A special equine-focused workshop will be held at the American Forage and Grassland Council’s (AFGC) annual conference Jan. 15, 2018, in Louisville, Kentucky.

“The equine workshop will focus on results from recent research projects that can be applied to farm management situations,” said Bob Coleman, PhD, University of Kentucky (UK) horse extension specialist. “This is a great opportunity for horse owners, farm managers, or those in the service industry that work and advise these groups to take new information and apply it to the pastures and paddocks they manage.”

Presentations at the event will include:

  • Pasture management to optimize horse health–Bridgett McIntosh, PhD, Virginia Tech University;
  • Grazing bermudagrass in Kentucky–Bob Coleman, PhD, UK horse extension specialist;
  • Managing horse preference in pastures–Laurie Lawrence, PhD, professor in UK’s Department of Animal and Food Sciences;
  • Grazing alternative forages in horse pastures–Krishona Martinson, PhD, University of Minnesota; and
  • Pasture management on a budget–Gary Webb, PhD, Missouri State University.

The workshop is scheduled for “Producer Day,” when presentations and posters are focused on applied research that can impact farms and managers now
