Equine (Horse) Emphasis Information

The curriculum provides an excellent "balance" of science-based classroom work and hands-on knowledge. A unique feature of the program is its nationally recognized young horse training program. In the training courses, each student is assigned a young unridden horse and under the direct supervision of a faculty member the student trains the horse in ground and riding skills.
