- "As a Missouri 4-H alum who spent seven years in the program and is about to graduate college with a degree in equine science, I can't recommend the Equine Tour enough. My experience on the tour confirmed for me that if I followed my interests, there would be a place in the industry for me, because the horse world is as broad and varied as you can imagine. The classes I have taken in college would fit me well for jobs in equine publications or working at a therapeutic riding program - two fields I got to see up close and personal on the Equine Tour. This trip is a worthwhile way to get a glimpse of your future career!"- Kate Wright, Senior, Judson College, Communcations, Spanish, Equine Majors
