This course is designed to provide the student with the skills needed to properly care for horses in a training, boarding or breeding facility.

     Starting with the basics of proper housing necessary for a horse’s health, the student will learn to observe all the conditions which affect the horse, from proper ventilation to facilities to equipment choice and maintenance.  Determining the horse’s vital signs begins the daily routine which includes clipping techniques, mane and tail care, leg care with massage and wraps, sheath cleaning and mare care, proper use of blankets, sheets and turn our precautions.

     Students will learn the use of different restraints, how to give intramuscular injections and oral medications.  Alternative healing therapies will be examined.
