Virtual course of:Coursera |
This unique course was developed by veterinarians from the world-renowned University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. The course will approach horsemanship from a welfare perspective, within the context of "The Five Freedoms" of animal welfare. We will explore equine physiology, behavior, and basic needs including shelter, nutrition, hygiene, and disease management. You will learn how 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 main responsibilities we must assume as owners, handlers or competitors to ensure the health and well-being of our equine companions. Finally, we will look at several special topics in equine welfare, including disaster planning and international welfare efforts now underway to protect working horses and other equines in key industries such as racing, international competition, tourism, and even the mining. Upon completion of the course, you will be well equipped to develop a comprehensive welfare plan for any horse in your care.
