WATERBURY â The next course in the Equine Husbandry series at Post University will begin Thursday, November 30, at 6:30 pm.
The eight-week course will conclude on January 25 (there will be a break for the holidays).
The Equine Health classes will cover many important areas vital for any horse care giver, including how to recognize early problems and give first aid treatments, together with information on disease prevention and proper nursing care.
Also included will be how to give medications, what the veterinarian needs to know, how to deal with colic, and many other important points that will help to keep a horse healthy.
The courses in the Equine Husbandry series can be taken in any order and are open to anyone interested â no pre-requisites are required. Each course will run for eight weeks, one evening per week for three hours. Students can earn CEU credits or take the courses for personal enrichment. The classes run from 6:30 to 9:20 pm on the Waterbury Campus in the Drubner Center.
It is easy to find someone to teach you riding, but it is much harder to learn how to care for horses properly.
Further courses will be offered next year in Horse Ownership, Basic Horse Care, Stable Management I & II, and Equine Anatomy.
To earn CEU credits the cost is $500; to audit the course, the cost is $350. To register, or for more information, call the Equine Department at Post University at 203-596-4631 or contact CBaker@Post.edu.
