A fun way for our students to spend a Friday morning - ponies, sticky notes, and a whole lot of learning!

Today NDSU students in the Equine Care and Management lab learned about Equine anatomy and Tony was a very willing participant.
No sticky notes were ingested today, but we cant say he didnt try...
