Members of the “Agriculture in Our Lives” class at Middle Tennessee Education Center in Shelbyville like to horse around.

The students, led by Dr. Warren Gill, recently visited the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration grounds to find out more about the walking horse industry. The excursion was noted by the Shelbyville Times-Gazette in an April 18 story and photos. (You can read the article here.)

The Middle Tennessee Education Center, a partnership of MTSU and Motlow State Community College, is working to make higher education more readily accessible in Bedford, Coffee, Lincoln, Maury, Marshall and Moore counties. For more information on MTEC, visit www.mteducationcenter.com.
