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 this field trip to Margaux Farm in Woodford County, students 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 in foal, and a little about the breeding of thoroughbreds.

This program was co-produced by KET and the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. It first aired on May 7, 1996.
