The UK Ag Equine Programs’ 2022 calendar will be available from county extension agents in Kentucky around the beginning of the year. Developed by the UK Ag Equine Extension Agent Working Group, the 12-month planning calendar is full of timely tips and resources for horse owners and horse farm managers. There is no charge for the calendars, but offices have a limited supply that are distributed on a first-requested, first-provided basis.

Topics are presented the month before they are most applicable to give horse owners time to implement relevant practices. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• feeding your horse
• body condition scoring
• weed control
• pasture seeding
• pasture rotation
• routine vaccination
• weaning foals
• testing hay
• soil testing
• winter blanketing
• hay feeders, forage
• water systems in winter
• mares and lights

Extension information for counties and associated agents can be found at https://extension.ca.uky.edu/.
