Students who choose to participate in an equine internship have the opportunity to select their own area of emphasis (e.g. breeding, training, instruction) and to work off-campus under professional guidance to increase their knowledge and experience. They will work with the equine internship coordinator to find appropriate placement. No transportation is provided. Forty internship hours equate to 1 credit hour. (Offered every semester) Required prerequisite: sophomore standing in the Equine Business Management Specialization and appropriate level of skill relative to site placement (the Program Director of Equine Business Management has final approval of all internship placements).

3.00 Credits
The student studies the theoretical and practical aspects of disease and applies this information to the study of diseases of the horse. Recognition of normality and degree of deviation from normal are stressed along with preventive medicine. The laboratory sessions emphasize skills such as measuring vital signs, recognizing deviations from normal behavior/attitude/ measures of health as well as skills such as administering medications. (Offered fall term) Must pass with a "C" or betterRequired prerequisite: SM 215 Equine Anatomy and Physiology.

3.00 Credits
A continuation of EQ 321 Equine Disease & Injuries I, this course places its emphasis on lameness encompassing muscle, bone and joint disorders associated with the performance horse, as well as neurological disorders. The discussion of treatment and prevention is emphasized, as well as X-ray analysis. The laboratory portion involves analysis of actual and theoretical cases to ensure the appropriate application of knowledge gained through the lectures/discussions. (Offered spring term) Required prerequisite: EQ 321 Equine Diseases and Injuries I.
-
3.00 Credits
The theoretical and applied aspects of the equine reproductive industry are studied. Topics covered include mare and stallion reproductive anatomy and physiology, prenatal development, foaling, neonatal care, reproductive technologies including semen collection and evaluation, artificial insemination, cooled and frozen semen techniques, record keeping and current breeding management topics. Some practical aspects of genetics and pedigree selection may be included. This course is the basis to the reproductive management certificate and must be taken prior to EQ 324, EQ 327 and EQ 427.

3.00 Credits
A continuation of EQ 230 Concepts and Methods in Horse Training, this course further hones the student's skills at developing abilities in the horse. Emphasis is placed on directing and modifying the response of a horse to a given cue. (Offered fall term) Required prerequisite: EQ 230 Concepts and Methods in Horse Training, and permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course involves the study of animal behavior as it relates to training and management of all animals, but with the largest portion of time spent on horses. The emphasis is placed on herd animal patterns, behavior in natural habitat and the adaptation techniques that the horse applies in artificial conditions. In addition, behavior patterns of other domestic animals such as dogs, cats and birds are discussed. (Offered on a rotating basis.)
-
