WHY?

If you have a desire to make a career out of your love for horses, then the Equine Business Management program may be just the place for you. We provide you with hands-on learning opportunities in the areas of horse health care, nutrition, behavior, and pasture management; and you will learn important skills in business management, finance and personnel management. Students also complete a very valuable internship at a farm that specializes in the services the student is interested in, providing students with essential skills and contacts in the industry. The internship also allows you to tailor the program to your desired career path whether it be in the area of therapeutic riding, horse breeding, stable management or horse show management.
