Horse Science Technology

Horse Science Technology

Program Description: The Horse Science Technology program prepares students for a variety of positions in equine enterprises. More than 50 percent of instruction takes place in a laboratory setting using Kirkwood-owned horses or horses from outside the campus. Advanced students can train their own horses or horses sponsored for training.

The first year focuses on genetics, breeding, horsemanship, production management, and health and performance. The second year emphasizes training, nutrition, management and judging. An internship is required.
