Students and adults interested in a career with horses have a chance to learn more about their educational opportunities in the equine field. “Your Future with Horses: An Equine Education Fair” will be held in conjunction with the Kentucky Horse Council’s annual conference on Nov. 14, 2009, at the Scott County High School in Georgetown, Ky.

The seminar features speakers in 16 different equine careers who will talk about their field and educational choices that led them to their careers. Each speaker will offer advice for those who are considering such job choices. In addition, representatives from more than 16 colleges, universities, and other educational programs, which offer equine related programs from Kentucky and around the country, will provide information on their programs.

Madelyn Millard, KHC Board president explained, “As an equine organization that is dedicated to education, we want to be sure to keep people aware of the many choices they have in regard to working with horses. “Your Future With Horses” will allow students to explore their educational choices and find a path to the equine career goal that best suits them.

“It is very easy to forget about how many career possibilities there are in the equine industry. Many people limit their educational options because they are simply not aware of the numerous choices they have. This conference will present a wide variety of these options, thereby ensuring that the equine industry benefits from focused young professionals.”

The Kentucky Horse Council is a non-profit organization dedicated, through education, to the protection, growth and development of the equine industry in Kentucky. The KHC provides educational programs, grants, scholarships, personal liability insurance, trail riding programs, and an annual statewide equine industry directory.

“Your Future with Horses” is free and open to the public. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Be sure to visit the Your Future With Horses Web site.
