The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (UTIA) is planning three in-person field days focused on horse management. Presentations and hands-on educational materials will be of interest for equine owners of all experience levels.

Presentations will be provided by faculty from UT’s Department of Animal Science, UT Extension, and the UT College of Veterinary Medicine. The topics this year will focus on emergency preparedness, internal parasite management, nutrition, and more. Trending topics in the equine industry will also be discussed with a Q and A session.

“The equine industry plays an important role in the state’s economy and is an important part of Tennessee’s heritage,” said Carrie Castille, senior vice chancellor and senior vice president of UTIA. “Horse management field days offer owners the opportunity to access high-quality information from UTIA experts, information that can help ensure the health of Tennessee horses and our heritage of horse ownership.”

Each event will include dinner and is open to the public. All ages are welcome to attend. Events will be held indoors and outdoors, weather permitting. Indoor locations will be used in the event of inclement weather. 

The dates and locations of each field day include:

• East TN – Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 5 p.m., Brehm Animal Science Arena, UTIA Campus, Knoxville
