Link in article to full study that found "that a noseband should not be tightened over the ISES recommended ‘two-finger’ space as this can significantly decrease performance," 🐎

We’re getting major #UtProsim vibes from Elli Travis. A PhD student and a @VTCECE #economicdevelopment specialist, she wrangled Cburg’s food truck rodeo as the volunteer president of Downtown Christiansburg Inc. Get inspired by this community champion. ➡️ news.vt.edu/articles/2024/10…
