The Equine Training credit diploma prepares students for work in the field of equine training and management. Students will gain an overall understanding of equine anatomy, physiology, nutritional needs, and proper evaluation of a horse. Invaluable horsemanship skills in a variety of disciplines, including starting a colt under saddle are learned. Students will gain knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for their internship in their chosen field which will ultimately prepare them for work in the equine industry. Admission to LCCC does not ensure admission to the equine training CD program; a supplemental program application and horseback riding proficiency tryout is required.
