Saddle up to learn about equine science, the study of horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and zebras. You’ll spend eight days exploring the principles behind physiology, behavior, nutrition, diseases, and reproduction of equine.
This fun, experienced-based program will cover a broad range of topics about equine and our relationship with these animals—from how the domestication of equine shaped humans to understanding the dietary needs of a mare with a foal. You’ll also make new, four-legged friends at the UC Davis Animal Science Horse Barn, where hands-on labs will enhance the concepts discussed in lectures and allow students to interact and learn from some of the best teachers in equine science!
Get inspired as we explore potential career opportunities focused on equine, including working with underserved populations in developing countries whose lifelines are working equids, protecting endangered breeds of equine right here in California.
