Does unr have a horse back riding program?
The UNR Wolf Pack may have a pretty campus, but, they will have nothing to do with an equine program. I went through all of the academic programs and found nothing about horses, much less horse back riding. Try the University of Arizona or UC Davis in California. ** Below is a paragraph taken from the UC Davis Aggies website in regards to their equestrian program. They also boast one of the best Veterinary Colleges in the country, especially for horses.... ....The 25-acre Equestrian Center operates an extensive year-round English and Western riding program, horse boarding facilities, and features a 45,000-square-foot indoor riding arena, four barns, and several pastures. Whether you’re brand-new to the sport or an experienced rider, you’ll gain skills and confidence under the direction of our professionally trained staff. ** Here are a few of the Aggies equestrian programs...... http://www.theaggie.org/2011/03/01/uc-da... ** I guess she's not interested anymore..... ......Billy Ray "Meikyo"
What can I do with a degree in Equine Sciences?
hey girl. don't worry too much about it right now. there are a zillion things you can do with the degree. your first semester at CSU in your Intro to Equine Science class they tell you all sorts of different careers that you can have with your degree. i'm going to be the breeding manager at my family's place and breeding managers are one of the more popular career choices. you could be a trainer for a facility that trains and shows horses (we have our 2 trainers at our place and it's definitely possible to support yourself if your a trainer like that) instead of being sort of a freelance trainer on your own. here are some that they've told us off the top of my head: trainer breeding manager (at a stallion station or a breeding facility) editor of equine magazine barn manager nutritionist (someone who outlines nutritional programs for people's horses) nutritionist for a company (we know someone who is a nutritional specialist for the equine side of Purina who got her equine science degree from CSU and is friends with some of my professors) someone in sales (you could work for Western Bloodstock or Heritage Place) work for a breeds association farrier vet chiropractor acupuncturist massage therapist (as crazy as it sounds) there are a ton more but that's all just off the top of my head. and when you do your internship, try to do it in the field you want a career in so that you'll get your foot in the door and make those connections to get a good job after college. maybe you could be my assistant in the breeding program at my family's place or something as your internship lol. they told us that getting a good job right out of college usually depends on the connections you've made while in college. i know someone who just graduated last year who got a job as a breeding manager for a big racing barn up in KY and she's 23 now! let me know if you want to know anything else!
What is the benefit of going to a school in a rural area?
Going to school in a rural area has numerous benefits. As other answers indicate, a clean climate is best for learning. Another significant benefit is seeing how the earth changes over seasons, especially in agricultural areas. Education standards include that students understand natural processes like decomposition, that flowers turn into fruit on fruit trees and other specifics that are difficult to learn abstractly. I was a garden educator for a few years and was impressed by how much students loved being in the garden and eating fresh veggies right off the plant.Rural areas often are sparsely populated. Actually knowing the people in your town is an authentic way to develop character traits based on interactions with your neighbors. Characteristics such as empathy, compassion and respect are modeled and depended upon for a harmonious community. People rely on one another for help if needed. I grew up in a rural agricultural area. My parents offered our ponies to the special needs kids who needed equine therapy. Although I HATED sharing my pony with another kid, I didn’t mind the dishwasher we received in exchange.
How much does a college equestrian coach get paid?
This depends on a lot of different factors. Where the school is located, how large it is, how large the endowment is, whether or not the coach has other duties besides coaching ( such as teaching classes in horsemanship or equine science, for example, or administrative duties such as those required of a department head) his or her own level of education ( coaches who have masters' and PhD's will earn more and gain tenure a lot faster than those with just Bachelors' or Associates' degrees) the track record of the equestrian team or teams, as well as the current pay rates in the area where the school is located. Some schools also provide on campus housing and other fringe benefits, such as insurance, to their faculty and coaches, along with expense accounts. But this varies widely, depending on the school and the location.
Horse teck school?
I know two!!! University of Guelph - Guelph Ontario - THE MOST RESPECTED AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES IN NORTH AMERICA - Offers many courses in equine - Courses that will get you to become a vet for horses or cows only - Vet school that was estabulished in 1862 KEMPVILLE IS WELL KNOWN AS HORSE COLLEGE. - This college has various courses strictly to equine in both Western and English riding skills - Courses - Equine Management Degree - you must have at least 7 University or University/College Courses and have a high degree of Horse knowledge and have the atomomity of the horse down pat as you get to treat horses, needle them, treat and massaging them - Equine Management Certificate - You should have good grades in College Level and a good knowledge of horses and know the basic body parts of the horse. Both of these are extremley tough to get in but don't give up. And they are a bit pricey but it is worth it. It costs around $13,000 for 4 semesters which includes boarding of your horses, feed, hay, pasture, useage of the riding facility. $11,000 for the use of an horse (lease) and usage of tack and bridle. Make sure you visit it as it is just 20 minutes from Ottawa for Kemptville and Guelph is located about 1.5 hours from Niagara Falls, Canada. You can take a tour of The campus and many more options on the websites for free and can get more information.
Certification for equine jobs vs. degree?
I had heard and read that nobody in the equine world really cares about degrees, but rather experience. I would like some form of more formal education on several areas dealing with equines, beginning with both Private Riding Instructor and Horse Trainer. I am planning out how my stable will function, where I will house horses for adoption and host camps for children and classes and such until they are adopted out. I want someone with plenty of experience to tell me what they did and how it worked for them. A woman I know personally never did anything, she just got into show jumping and has been all over the country and more with her talent and is now a stable manager who does classes and is now in the battle of the ex's trainer challenge- Krissan Blanchard. A big inspiration to me, but totally different background so I cannot really follow her lead.
