Any horse lovers and owners who wish to learn more about correct horse care are invited to apply for these CEU courses in Equine Husbandry at Post University. They can be taken in any order and are open to anyone interested – 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.

Post University’s Equine Department understands that while it is easy to find someone to teach you riding, it is much harder to learn how to care for horses properly. This series of courses will address this problem as they are designed to cover the necessary information horse owners require to look after horses correctly. Future courses will also be offered 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 email CBaker@Post.edu.
