Hi everyone! As many of you know our professional development and networking convention, at the beginning of this year, was in Lexington, Kentucky hosted by University of Tennessee!
A yearly convention where we have the opportunity to get together with like-minded students looking for a career in the equine industry.
This experience gave a look into many different equine specific facilities that supplied our students with internship ideas, the ability to network with a plethora of companies, and in general have fun in fellowship with their peers.
From breeding facilities, to veterinary practices, to race tracks, our students got to learn all there is to know about the horse world of Kentucky.
At the end of convention, students got to meet a bit more personally with some of the facilities we toured at our awards dinner. This gave them the opportunity to talk one on one about what their future careers could look like.
This is then where we handed out some yearly awards and said farewell to our amazing 2025-2026 executive board. While wishing them the best on their new endeavors, they got to welcome our new board!
