EST-4010 Management of Equestrian Activities
This course is designed to expose students to the organization, management, and production of various equine events. Administration of events will be studied in the classroom. The student will be exposed to tasks such as: producing a prize list, hiring show officials, marketing an event, developing sponsorship, and staffing positions. Practical experience is gained through participation in the management of events held at the Centenary Equestrian Center as well as outside equine events. Emphasis will be placed on operating a successful event for successive years, and highlighting current trends in the horse show industry. Of primary concern will be events such as hunter-jumper shows, dressage shows, and clinics.
