Associate Diploma in Equine Studies

The Equine Studies Program provides students with an opportunity to specialize at an intensive level in the management of horse enterprises. The program provides an excellent foundation for students who eventually wish to seek certification as qualified instructors in the Canadian Equestrian Federation. The program combines theory and hands-on practical courses that prepare graduates for the diversity of positions that exist in the horse industry.
