With a variety of demonstrations, workshops, and displays planned, the Equine Experience at Pennsylvania State University’s Ag Progress days–scheduled for Aug. 16-18–is aimed at educating and entertaining horse lovers of all ages and experience levels, according to organizers.

The equine science team in the College of Agricultural Sciences coordinates the event, which offers a full schedule of training and breed clinics, demonstrations, informational displays, and lectures annually.

This year, the Spring Mount Percheron six-horse hitch, owned by David and Linda Hershey, will be on hand all three days.

"These outstanding animals will be hitched and driven once each day, plus once for a special performance during the Wednesday Evening Extravaganza," said Ann Macrina, research and teaching associate in the Department of Dairy and Animal Science
