CARRINGTON, N.D. (NDSU) – Horse owners, stable managers and equine enthusiasts will have the opportunity to learn management strategies and ask questions during a webinar series North Dakota State University Extension is hosting at noon on March 12, 19 and 26.

Topics will include breeding management of mares in Northern climates, foaling and foal management in Northern climates and managing horses on small acreages in North Dakota.

“The goal of these webinars is to empower our equine owners in North Dakota to confidently apply what we share to their breeding and foaling experience as well as management of facilities and small land bases,” says Mary Keena, Extension livestock environmental management specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.

“Northern climates present unique management situations for our animals, land and facilities,” says Paige Brummund, NDSU Extension’s agriculture and natural resources agent in Ward County. “We experience extreme cold, mud, freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, drought and sometimes a lack of available land. Understanding various animal and facility management strategies when it comes needs and comforts of our horses can lead to a more pleasurable ownership experience.”

The webinar presenters are Keena and Brummund. Visit ndsu.ag/horsewebinar25 to register for the webinars.
