Program Description
The Equine Training Advanced Certificate is designed to meet the needs of the student interested in developing the skills necessary to become a horse trainer who can safely and effectively start young horses. Successful graduates of the program will be prepared to start their own training business or will be prepared to find employment with an established professional trainer. The student will need to provide a 2 to 3-year-old horse that has little prior handling. Working with young horses is a challenge, due to the unpredictable nature of horses, and requires the successful student to be physically, mentally, and emotionally fit. The student will be directly assessed on their ability to apply acquired training techniques by demonstrating their competency, mastery, and positive progression through the training and development of their young horse.
