eXtension Horses Survey


Hello

One of the many roles is serving as National Chair for eXtension Horses or also known as HorseQuest (found at www.extension.org/horses).

EXtension Horses/HorseQuest is an on-line resource for horse producers brought to you by extension specialists from all across the United States. We have developed this survey in order to to learn what you think of eXtension Horses, how much you use it and how it helps you and your horses. Please take just a few minutes to complete this survey! This is initially being piloted here in Nebraska and then will be used nation-wide to evaluate the usefulness of eXtension Horses/HorseQuest.
The purpose of this survey is to obtain more specific feedback on how useful the segments and information on eXtension Horses is for horse enthusiasts like yourself. As a user of eXtension Horses, we are extremely interested in your feedback. If you have not yet used this site, please take a few minutes and introduce yourself to it. We think you will find it very valuable!
The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete.

Thanks so much!
