Electronic
Field Trip to a Horse Farm 
An
Electronic Field Trip to a Horse Farm is an exciting way to learn
about horses and farming without leaving your classroom.
Students who live in towns, cities, and suburbs--whose
experience with horses might consist of watching the
Kentucky Derby on television or driving past sprawling
white-fenced horse farms--might be very curious to learn
what life is like on one of those farms. During
the field trip to Margaux Farm in Woodford County, students
will learn what makes the Bluegrass region so good for
raising horses and other livestock, what a farrier does,
what a typical day on a horse farm is like, how a veterinarian
knows that a mare is with foal, and a little about the
breeding of thoroughbreds. There are many activities
from which to choose. You are invited to come
along on an electronic field trip!
