Students and faculty representing the D. E. King Equine Program presented four research papers and two research posters at the 2007 Equine Science Society (ESS) symposium June 5-9 in Baltimore. The ESS is an international group of equine researchers, extension agents, professors, horse industry professionals and students who study equine physiology, nutrition, and science..
Operation of the D. E. King Equine Program is uniquely self-funded, making its design and management of wide interest to the other programs represented at the symposium. D. E. King Equine Program supporters, like members of the Nettleship Society for Excellence in Equine Education have made this possible. Their continued support has elevated the D. E. King Equine Program to national prominence.
Attending the symposium were students Kellie Hampy, Laura McKenzie and Jana Reynolds, program director N. E. Jack, barn manager/event coordinator Kathi Jogan, arena manager Danny Belcher and state equine extension specialist Steve Jones.
