The Equine Initiative is an overarching framework for all things equine at the University of Kentucky. It is a cross-departmental and cross-disciplinary approach within the College of Agriculture that has resulted in enhancements to existing equine programs and the formation of new equine areas of emphasis.
The ultimate destination? UK becomes the world leader in equine teaching, research and outreach/extension.
