Christine Skelly<skellych@msu.edu>, Michigan State University Extension and MSU Department of Animal Science - March 22, 2013

Join the My Horse University and eXtension Horses webcast on Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. EDT to learn about Developing Youths’ Life Skills Through Equine Activities.

Using Iowa State University’s Targeting Life Skills Model, Taylor Fabus, of the Michigan State University Animal Science Department will discuss how to better structure horse activities with youth to help them further develop important life skills. The goal will be to more intentionally include life skill development into existing interactions with young people. This webinar will give you ideas and activities that you can put into use if you are a 4-H or Pony Club volunteer, riding instructor or parent of a horse crazy kid.
