The horse is at the heart of everything we do

It will be 20 years this March since the formation of the Equine Initiative, now UK Ag Equine Programs, an effort to serve the horse and the industry that supports the horse. Formally announced by the University of Kentucky in May 2005, the program was a partnership between UK’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment and the horse industry and established through the efforts of the Gluck Equine Research Foundation, the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association/Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders and several other Kentucky equine organizations.
