This Is My Classroom: The Cal Poly Pomona Pastures

On August 17th, 2015, Cal Poly Pomona University announced their decision to proceed with the development that would take away 13 acres of pasture land from the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center.
This video is made to commemorate all of the things that the students have learned in the pastures. These pastures are our classrooms.

Here we are today with Centerpointe Dining Hall, Secoya, Sicomoro, and an adjacent empty lot all on former horse pastureland. Preserving the Arabian Horse pastures is essential to maintaining Cal Poly’s history and Cal Poly’s identity as a whole.

My daughter visited recently and were told about the recent decision. Very sad to hear. However, at least we know that the equestrian center must remain open/viable, in order to keep Mr Kellogg's requirements for the campus. It makes no sense to move the horses to the outer corner pasture near the freeway, where no one can keep an eye on them. I hope they think that part through.

There is also no better way to learn body language and how the horse communicates than in the herd environment.

What's cool is the horses being allowed in a pasture is they also learn how to be and communicate like a horse. They aren't stuck in a small stall, alone- which is so unnatural. Sounds like Cal Poly is selling out for $$??
