Horse owners, managers, and equine enthusiasts will soon have access to an updated and comprehensive online learning opportunity focused on pasture and forage management. The Forages for Horses online course, developed by The Ohio State University Extension Equine Program, launches in October 2025 and will include live monthly webinars, a revised Forages and Pasture Management Manual, and additional digital learning materials.
The course will feature three live, 60-minute webinars held once a month in October, November, and December 2025. Each webinar will offer participants the chance to ask questions of featured speakers. Recordings will be available afterward for those unable to attend live.
Participants who register will gain access to the full online course through OSU’s Scarlet Canvas platform, where all recordings, resources, and the updated manual will be available for self-paced learning through September 2026.
The registration fee is $75, which includes a digital copy of the Forages for Horses Manual. A printed manual may also be purchased at checkout. Current and new members of the Ohio Forages and Grasslands Council are eligible for a $15 registration discount. Participants who attend all three live webinars will have the opportunity to earn a certificate of completion.
Registration for Forages for Horses is available through the PCE website.
In addition, the Equine Extension Team will host a free Equine Winter Webinar Series once a month in January, February, and March 2026. Registration for these sessions is also available at www.go.osu.edu/equinezoomseries25
This new course provides a flexible, research-based resource for anyone interested in improving horse care and pasture management—from casual horse owners to industry professionals. All Zooms will be recorded. For questions, please reach out to Janessa at hill.1357@osu.edu
