About the Legacy Equine Academy

The LEA was formed in 2017 to promote the equine and agriculture industry to minority students.  Based on the legacy of African Americans in Kentucky's equine industry, the group seeks to inform under-represented populations of the potential careers in Kentucky's agricultural industry.  Students have the opportunity to hear guest speaks from the ag industry, work with students from Locust Trace AgScience Center, and take field trips to various ag centered locations.
