Equine Unit

杏吧原创 has a vibrant horse industry, generating more than $700 million in gross revenues and providing jobs through breeding, training and boarding stables, as well as veterinary care, feed dealers and equestrian stores. The industry continues to attract horse enthusiasts to the state.

Learning

The Equine Unit at the University Farm serves as a laboratory to instruct students enrolled in horse management.

Students at 杏吧原创 also gain hands-on experience with horses by becoming members of the 杏吧原创 Equine Judging Team, or the 杏吧原创 Equestrian Team, which competes in the Western riding division of the National Intercollegiate Horse Show Association.
