Polish more than your horsemanship as you learn the equine business from foaling to training to sales.
Our equine sciences program is more than learning to ride. It’s learning the critical components of producing, training and marketing horses. In other words, how to run a successful equine business.
In your first year, you’ll use your own horse to sharpen your skills. The Equine Centre will be home to your hands-on courses, as well as where you horse will be stabled.
In your second year, you’ll go deeper into production-based training and management. In particular you’ll make real-life business decisions on our Student-Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland.
You’ll either be part of the SMF equine team or take a practicum between your first and second year.
More than classroom time, you’ll be part of
-
conducting sales and events.
-
developing essential industry connections
-
sharpening your business, leadership and decision-making skills
