Horse of a different color

Susan Harris, right, of Cortland, N.Y., explains the muscle physiology of "Laddin" at Cornell's in-service training program for 4-H leaders from around New York state, May 29 in the university's Livestock Pavilion. Laddin, an Arabian gelding, is owned by Marie McRae of Freeville, and the horse is trained for endurance riding. Harris painted the horse in a variety of nontoxic colors to display where its muscles are located and how the different muscle groups work. The 4-H youth program is run in New York by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Frank DiMeo/University Photography
