The Equine Educational Unit contains 16 stalls including 2
foaling stalls with cameras. The EEU is also located on 60 acres of
pasture land with adjoining wooded areas available for shelter. The
facility was built in 1990 and contains a breeding shed, reproduction
laboratory, foaling stalls, tack room, wash pit, student apartments,
manager's office and meeting room. The current inventory is 41 head (3
stallions, 12 brood mares, 8 yearlings, 11 weanlings, and 7 teaching
mares) of primarily Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred breeding, with plans to
expand to 50-60 head once the facility is finished and all pastures have
been established. The main facility is designed to enable classroom
instruction and subsequent hands-on laboratories for teaching and
extension purposes. |
