'Tis the season -- foaling season, that is -- at the University of Missouri's Equine Teaching Facility.
The facility, part of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Division of Animal Sciences, is known for its long standing tradition of breeding and raising quality quarter horses. It's also a prime example of the student-operated, hands-on experiences you can find at Mizzou.
Undergraduate students in Animal Science's Equine Breeding Management class focus on practical applications of reproductive management techniques and breeding in the horse.
