EQST 3600 - TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUNG HORSE I

Institution:

Central Wyoming College

Subject:

EQST Equine Studies

Description:

This course is an advanced riding and training course where the student will develop proper techniques to initiate training and development of young horses, building a foundation upon which more advanced training can be applied. This course includes basic groundwork, trailer loading, longeing, ground driving, saddling, and first ride. The student will implement training techniques to develop a solid foundation, resulting in a green broke horse who is prepared for more advanced training. The student will need to provide a 2 to 3 year-old horse that has little prior handling. Working with young horses is a challenge, due to the unpredictable nature of horses, and requires the successful student to be physically, mentally, and emotionally fit. The student will be directly assessed on their ability to apply acquired training techniques by demonstrating their competency, mastery, and positive progression through the training and development of their young horse. This course requires the strong skills gained in previous EQST courses. Prerequisites: Completion of EQST 2625, instructor permission, and a suitable horse (1 lect., 10 lab)
