University of Kentucky (UK) Ag Equine Programs will host its annual Equine Farm and Facilities Expo from 3:30 to 8 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 2 at McPeek Racing’s Magdalena Farm in Lexington.

Horse owners and farm managers will have the opportunity to walk through a vendor trade show and see a range of equipment and supplies for horse farms of all sizes. Additionally, UK specialists will provide hands-on instruction about practical aspects of management for equine operations. There will also be farm tours.

“The expo provides horse owners the chance to attend an informative event on the grounds of a working horse farm,” said Ray Smith, PhD, forage extension specialist for the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “We appreciate Kenny McPeek for hosting this event and for opening the farm’s gates to the public.”

Nick Carter, Fayette County agriculture and natural resources extension agent, said the expo is a unique opportunity for horse owners to learn about a wide range of topics, from pasture weed management to footing for exercise areas
