    The purpose of this course is to acquaint the equestrian student with an organizational, scientific approach to the diagnosis, treatment and athletic management of equine lameness. This will be accomplished in three separate sections of the course. The course will be equally divided between lectures and labs. During the initial section, orthopedic anatomy and equine biomechanics will be reviewed. In the second section, we'll combine anatomy and biomechanics with the art of insightful observation of the horse on the flat and under saddle. The final section will incorporate discussion of the latest scientific technology for diagnosis, as well as common dysfunctions, etiology and prognosis interrelated to the competitive implications for the best management of the athletic horse. Prerequisite: EQ 241 or permission of the instructor, Junior or Senior standing.

    The principle learning outcome in this course is for the student to acquire a thorough working knowledge of the equine gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology as related to the process of digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients. Special emphasis will be placed on lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals and their relationships in feed concentrates and in forage. Different aspects of nutritional requirements and deficiencies will also be discussed. The student will be able to apply the basic principles of equine nutrition in order to develop and balance a feed rationing program for horses at any stage of life and athletic capacity. Prerequisites: EQ 244, EQ244L and EQ 350

    The principle learning outcome in this course is for the student to acquire a thorough working knowledge of the equine reproductive anatomy & physiology, equine neonatology & introductory concepts in equine genetics. Reproduction labs will emphasis mare & stallion reproductive evaluation & readiness for breeding. The student will be able to relate the study of equine reproduction & genetics to current breeding husbandry & management techniques. In addition, the student will develop problem-solving skills in regards to presentations of common equine reproductive problems encountered & the therapeutic options available for treatment. Prerequisite: EQ 241, EQ 244 , EQ 244L

    This is an entry-level course in French that assumes no prior knowledge of the language. The course can stand alone and provides a significant introduction to the language, although ideally it would be taken as a two-course sequence with FRE 152. The focus is on development of basic communicative ability in the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), the acquisition of basic grammar and vocabulary, and on the use of the language in everyday situations. An introduction to the cultures of the French-speaking world is included. The course assumes very active participation by the student.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a suitable beginning point for students who have previously mastered some of the fundamentals and are able to resume their study at a somewhat higher level. It uses the same four skills approach as FRE 151. The course opens with a brief review of essential grammatical structures and vocabulary from FRE 151. It then moves to the acquisition and use of more sophisticated language structures and additional, general vocabulary appropriate to everyday situations. An introduction to the cultures of the French-speaking world is included. The course assumes very active participation by the student. Prerequisite: French 151 or equivalent.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course assumes a working knowledge of basic grammar and vocabulary, and is intended as a continuation of the FRE 151-152 sequence. The focus is on development of intermediate-level oral and writing skills, such as somewhat extended conversations on everyday topics and situations, and paragraph-length writing using moderately complex structures. Some grammar review is included. Classes are conducted in French.
