CCE Equine, or (Cornell Cooperative Extension – Equine) is a division of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County. CCE Equine was established in 2006 through funds provided by the New York Farm Viability Institute. The program was created due to a need for equine education for adults in Saratoga County.
We provide educational workshops and one-on-one visits with individual horse owners to discuss horse health, pasture management, forage quality, business planning, marketing, and basic management practices.
We have held workshops in equine liability, succession planning, pasture management, and equine business management. Moreover, we also host clinics of all disciplines; these clinics are held across Saratoga County at different Equine facilities in addition to our 4-H Training Center in Ballston Spa.
Providing education, whether it is one-on-one or in a classroom/workshop setting, is one of the ways we strive to provide opportunities for our equine community. We also understand the value of connecting all our equine professionals and personal horse owners. Moreover, CCE Equine also puts together networking events. These events are designed to be a fun celebration of everything equine involving personal horse owners, veterinarians, farriers, trainers, barn owners, feed dealers/reps, and outside businesses that support the equine industry. Working together as a community makes us more informed and stronger.
Follow us on Facebook to stay informed on what CCE Equine is up to and the programs we are offering, but also to get information on real questions and the issues that affect our day-to-day equine activities. If you have a question about your pasture, hay quality, farm management practices, or you are looking for equine professionals and services in the area, (or anything horse-related!), give us a call or email!
CCE Equine is here to help whether you are a personal horse owner or a professional in the equine industry. Our goal is to provide opportunity and growth for our equine community, in addition to making us all greater horsemen.
