"Real Horse Power!" presented by Karin Bump, professor of equine studies.

"My kingdom for a horse!" was declared by Shakespeare's King Richard III; Sir Winston Churchill stated, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." Carrying soldiers on the battlefield, pulling plows in the work field, and now being helping animals that provide everything from life skills training for young people to therapy for returning Middle East soldiers wounded in war – horses have had real power in transforming civilization, and today have real power in transforming lives. This presentation will encompass a journey through time to provide an understanding of 'horse power' from past to present, and celebrate the remarkable power of the horse to capture the hearts and minds of young and old alike.
