PE 1150 - Intro to Practical Equine Management

Institution:

Landmark College

Subject:

Description:

Sports Students will begin this one-credit class with Safety Instruction, Equine Behaviorism, and the philosophy of "Natural Horsemanship." Students will learn skills such as correct leading, tacking, feeding and general working around horses in diverse situations. They will move on to managing the range of horse behaviors that occur on an average level such as aggression, fear, and spooky behavior. Students will learn unique skill sets that allow them to manage horses in difficult situations both on the ground and under saddle. This course differs from others in that students will delve specifically into behavior modification for horses that is not aggressive-or punishment-oriented in any way, but rather creates control through bonding and building trust between horse and rider. For this program, a student will be introduced to the available horses and will choose one to work with for the whole semester. This ensures that students can measure the goals and achievements that they attain during the course.
