The Appalachian Horse Project is an educational nonprofit.  Our goal is to integrate the education of horse owners, students, and the general public in everything we do.  We will also partner to develop entrepreneurs for related services supporting the farm and the visitors.

• Students: Working with the University of Kentucky, we will assist in re-establishing horse 4-H Clubs in Eastern Kentucky and contribute to the education of students ages 11 to 18.

• College students in Equine Management and Vet Tech studies will be welcomed to assist the Appalachian Horse Project for hands-on experiences, internships, and basic research and assistance.

• The Public: It is very important for us to help educate the general public and visitors, especially those from other areas of the state and country, about the history of free-roaming horses, the role of coal mining in establishing pastureland in the mountains, and the historical significance of the horse in the rugged but beautiful Appalachian hills.
