This tour features a demonstration using horses and hands-on activities in equine pastures. Producers will gain an understanding of pasture management for horses, “do’s” and “don’ts” of sacrifice areas, and hear about tools needed to help improve equine operations. We’ll walk through the fields and talk about grass and weed identification, innovative pasture methods, and dry lot design for horses on limited acreage at the demonstration site.

Bus leaves Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m., and Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
