About the course

The equine industry and management option at UNH allows students to pursue an interest in horsemanship while also gaining a solid foundation in equine health, equine management, and equine business. Core courses include genetics, equine disease, equine sports medicine, equine reproduction and animal nutrition. Students also may study subjects ranging from riding instruction to equine training techniques to forage and grassland management to animal behavior and cognition. Many students in the program continue their studies in veterinary school or in other graduate-level subjects.

　　The UNH equine industry and management degree program offers a unique and well-rounded curriculum that combines award-winning equestrian teams with strong academics and outstanding opportunities for hands-on learning, including on-site USEF/USEA-recognized horse trials and a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International Premier Operating Center, giving students real-world experience in the equine industry. Students in the equine program have daily opportunities to work with horses on campus. Our facilities ?all of which are located within a 10-minute walk from campus ?include the 40-stall Tirrell Horse Barn, the W.C. Skoglund indoor riding arena, a lighted outdoor riding arena, a full cross-country course, three regulation-size dressage competition arenas and the Lou & Lutza Smith Equine Center.
