Equine Studies Concentrations
Equine studies students may, but are not required, to
undertake additional study in one of the two areas of
concentration: stud farm management or therapeutic
horsemanship.
Equine major required to declare concentration.
Equine Stud Farm Management Concentration
The concentration in equine stud farm management
prepares individuals for positions of responsibility in the
equine breeding business. General science and physiology,
along with the business courses in management, provide
a sound educational background for the more specialized
coursework in equine health, nutrition, genetics and
reproduction. Internships, academic programs, independent
study and laboratory work provide knowledge and
expertise in farm management breeding, foaling and
marketing. Exposure to a wide variety of farm management
techniques provides a foundation of information for
future stud farm managers. The stud farm management
concentration provides a specialized foundation in equine
science for students preparing for veterinary or graduate
level programs at other institutions. Students who choose
the stud farm management concentration are required
to take the following courses in addition to the courses
required for all equine majors:
• EQ 181 Breeding Practicum (3 SH)
• EQ 242 Stud Farm Management Practicum (3 SH)
• EQ 324 Pasture Management (3 SH)
• EQ 405 Equine Reproduction (4 SH)
Therapeutic Horsemanship Concentration
The concentration in therapeutic horsemanship gives students
a theoretical knowledge of and practical experience
with teaching horsemanship to people with disabilities.
Successful students gain insight into the physical, psychosocial,
cognitive and emotional effects of horses on human
beings, particularly those people who have special needs
or challenges. Upon completion of the program, students
will be prepared and qualified to become key employees
in organizations offering equine-assisted activities. This
concentration is offered in partnership with Fieldstone
Therapeutic Riding Center.
