Itâs All About Stable Management At Post University
Waterbury â Whether you are a horse owner or a horse enthusiast, the series of six evening equine husbandry courses offered by Post University will deepen your understanding of the equine and up-to-date care and management without taking a four-year degree. The classes can be taken in any order and are open to anyone interested. No prerequisites are needed.
The next course to be offered will be Stable Management II, which covers subjects from barn organization and pasture care, including fencing and drainage, to bedding and manure management, plus fly control. There will be advice on basic barn design for good ventilation, feeding and watering choices and storage, as well as discussions on environmental impacts of horse-keeping.
The fourth course in the six-part series, classes will be held on Monday evenings from August 20 through October 15, 6:30 to 9:30 pm, in Post Universityâs Equine Center, MacDermid Hall, Room 212 (park in the North parking lot on Country Club Road, Exit 17 off of I-84).
The equine husbandry evening classes are unique to Post University. The complete series can either be taken for personal enrichment and the Post University Certificate at $375 for each eight-week course, or for continuing education units (CEUs) at $525 apiece. Several first-time horse owners have completed the full series and have been awarded their certificates.
The class will be taught by Jamison Wallace, a Centered Riding Instructor and Clinician Level III, past president of Centered Riding, Inc., and a longtime horse person and experienced instructor. She also teaches in the equine program at Post University. She is enthusiastic about the evening classes, and being able to share both her knowledge and up-to-date information on all vital facts about horses and horse keeping to those who want to improve the life-styles of their equine companions.
