Clemson Extension Broadcasts
Horse Management Seminars

     CLEMSON -- Clemson Extension will broadcast a series of
interactive television seminars on horse management during the
month of October.
     The four programs will originate on the Clemson University
campus and will be transmitted via satellite to downlinks
throughout the state. The Clemson Extension Office in your
county will coordinate arrangements, and many local Extension
offices will serve as viewing sites. The programs will be offered
on Tuesday evenings in October from 7-9 p.m. There will be a
small fee to cover materials and refreshment costs.
     Topics will include nutrition for both the young horse and
the older horse, the appropriate forages for our climatic
conditions and the latest recommendations for the fescue/pregnant
mare syndrome. Clemson specialists  will share information  about
breeding techniques and why they work. Also, animal waste issues
will be discussed in light of the new state regulations.
     Each session will include time for interaction with the
presenters and others in the audience. For more information,
contact your county's Clemson Extension Office.
