A new and very exciting component of
this year’s Extravaganza is the introduction of a College and Education Round Table,
bringing together equine colleges, high schools and specialty programs with potential students,
giving young persons the opportunity to explore the vast variety of
equine opportunities available to them. Hosted and moderated by Angelia
Almos, author of Horse Schools, the Round Table will be held on
Saturday and Sunday mornings in the seminar hall. Interested students
are encouraged to arrive at the Extravaganza early, as this will be
the first seminar of the day on both Saturday (9:30) and Sunday (10:00).
After the round table, participants are encouraged to visit each college
or specialty school's booth for more information. The perfect
equine event for the prospective student!
