This Web site began its life as a handout Ben developed to use in his many presentations on careers in the equine industry.  Demand for the information is great from students at the University trying to decide what they will do once they graduate, 4-H agents planning career programs for county programs and the general public.  We originally planned to redo the handout into a publication that would be distributed through the College system.  However the more we discussed it, the more it seemed appropriate that this be a living, breathing source of information constantly growing and improving, which is easily facilitated on the Web.  Therefore, this "publication" will never be done.  If you have additions or suggestions for improvement, please let us know. 

We wish you the greatest success as you continue your exploration of careers in the equine industry!

Sincerely,

Karen A. Vines, Distance Education Coordinator and Equine Science Minor Coordinator, Department of Dairy & Animal Science, College of Agricultural Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University (kvines@psu.edu)
