EST-2011 Equine Facilities Management

Through classroom and hands-on experience the students will gain the knowledge and skills required to effectively and efficiently manage and maintain an equine facility. Topics covered include employee management, record keeping, facilities maintenance, clientele relations, equine emergency management and routine health care. Through the complete integration of all stable management tasks and skills, students will not only develop the ability to monitor, manage, and maintain the horse's health and soundness on a daily basis, but also demonstrate management responsibilities involved in the operation of an equine facility. Students are required to spend two days a semester working at the Equestrian Center as "manager assistants".
