WABI Covers ‘Everything Equine’ 4-H Science Saturday Workshop

WABI (Channel 5) reported on “Everything Equine,” a University of Maine 4-H Science Saturday workshop held at the J.F. Witter Teaching and Research Center in Orono. About 40 youth in grades K–12 learned about horses with Anne Lichtenwalner, a UMaine Extension veterinarian; and Robert Causey, an associate professor of animal and veterinary sciences. “It’s something that kids can do; it’s something hands on,” said Laura Wilson, a 4-H science professional with UMaine Extension. “Kids are perfectly able to grab a stethoscope — listen to their own heart; listen to their own gut; hear the sounds that are going on inside them. And then maybe after today translate what they know from horses to themselves.”
