This unique course was developed by veterinarians from the world-renowned University of California Davis College of Veterinary Medicine. The course will address horse riding from a welfare perspective, within the context of "The Five Freedoms" of animal welfare. We will explore equine physiology, behavior, and basic needs, including housing, nutrition, hygiene, and disease management. You will learn to perform basic tasks to assess the general condition of the horse and identify problem areas. We will also examine the specialized needs of the equine athlete and the primary responsibilities we must undertake as owners, handlers, or competitors to ensure the health and well-being of our equine companions. Finally, we'll look at several special topics in equine welfare, including disaster planning and the international welfare efforts now underway to protect work horses and other equines in key industries such as racing, international competition, tourism, and even mining. Upon completion of the course, you will be well equipped to develop a comprehensive welfare plan for the horses in your care.
