Kathy Anderson, extension horse specialist, is current chair of eXtension’s HorseQuest project, which has received the Excellence in Teamwork Award sponsored by the Joint Council of Extension Professionals.

The annual award recognizes successful Extension team programs that demonstrate effective performance and significant result impacts at community, area, state or multi-state levels.

eXtension is a web-based educational tool created by extension specialists, agents and educators to provide a complementary resource for extension personnel and clientele.

The eXtension HorseQuest leadership team was instrumental in developing and
sustaining both web content and the team of national experts, resulting in an innovative,
educational resource. The website (http://www.extension.org/horses) provides a variety of methods and learning opportunities related to health, care, management, and training of horses. Website resources include: Interactive Learning Lessons, Webinars, Frequently Asked Questions, Basic Information, and "Ask the Expert". Through self guided Learning Lessons, horse enthusiasts can move at their desired pace, or, research the topics through the "best of the best" articles available
on the site. Content is delivered through text, photos, videos, podcasts, flash applications, and interactive chats. The HorseQuest Community of Practice has led the way in providing unique educational opportunities to reach clientele.
