The Kentucky Equine Education Project will host its annual KEEP Day in Frankfort Thursday. KEEP Day in Frankfort provides KEEP grassroots members, industry leaders, breed associations, and other industry partners an opportunity to share with Kentucky lawmakers the importance of horses to their legislative districts and the state's economy.
The event will take place from 9 a.m.-10:45 a.m. in Room 113 in the Capitol Annex.
“Kentucky's horse industry and community create an annual economic impact on the state of $6.5 billion,” said Elisabeth Jensen, KEEP's executive vice president. “More important, though, are the tens of thousands of jobs and thousands of businesses that contributed directly and in-directly to the state's horse industry. These businesses and industry partners are the lifeblood of small towns across the state and it is critical that the industry flourish to support the small businesses and equine operations that are at the heart of Kentucky's signature industry.”
