Students can now learn about Equine Careers

For now this type of event isn't very widespread around the United States, but more and more of these opportunities should arise in the near future! Horse therapy is something Pegasus is extremely passionate about and the more students and people that can learn about it and its impact...the better!

"The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) will once again offer Kentucky students the opportunity to learn about careers in the equine and related industries at the "Your Future in Agriculture & Horses" event. The bulk of the event provides an opportunity for students to meet with representatives from programs participating in the Agricultural Trade Show, which is part of the KHC Annual Conference scheduled to take place Jan. 13-14 at the Lexington Convention Center.

"Your Future in Horses & Agriculture" provides post-secondary and equine and agricultural certificate programs the opportunity to connect with those interested in pursuing a career in the equine and agricultural fields. Representatives from a range of educational institutions from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky will be available to interact with interested students.

"Pick a School, Get a Job," a special equine college panel, is slated for 2:00 p.m. on Jan. 14. The panel includes successful graduates from a variety of Kentucky equine programs who will share insight into the unique offerings of their schools and how their undergraduate experience prepared them for work in the equine industry." This panel should also open many opportunities for equine jobs.

"Developing the next generation of agricultural leaders and equine professionals is an important aspect of the Kentucky Horse Council's mission," noted Anna Zinkhon, KHC Board President.

Participating educational programs include: Equine Industry Program at the University of Louisville, Georgetown College Equine Scholars Program, Kentucky Equine Higher Education Consortium, Kentucky Horse Park, Morehead State University, United States Equestrian Federation, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Kentucky Ag Economics.
