Course Title: Equine Care
Owning a horse is a dream for many, but in reality involves lots of hard work, it is a time-consuming commitment which will completely change your life.
Horses that spend most of their time in a stable need daily excercise. Damp bedding can lead to foot infections. The fumes and fungal spores, which become trapped in soiled bedding, can also affect the horse's health. To avoid this the stable should be cleaned twice a day and a nice thick bed of straw or wood shavings provided for the horse's comfort. Horses need regular grooming to keep their coats free from dust, mud and stains. Veterinary treatment is also an essential part of horse care. They need to be shod by a good farrier every four to six weeks.
This and many more training programs are offered at Equestrian International. We believe that every rider should be equiped with the tools to understand the horse's needs and to provide it with shelter, food, love and exercise.
