Equine

Horses are an important part of Utah’s economic and rural heritage.  The Utah State University Equine Teaching and Extension Team supports horse owners throughout the state by offering a variety of educational programs.  The Equine Team is a tremendous resource and asset to Utah’s Equine Industry.  The USU Extension equine programs have been well received throughout the state.  The Equine Teaching and Extension Team hosts many types of clinics thoughout the state from evening presentations to daylong events.  To learn more about clinics and events we are involved in throughout the year, please go to the left hand side and click on each month under the section for clinics.  We welcome the input and suggestions from Utah horse owners on equine programming needs for your club or area. 

A new 4 year Equine Science and Management emphasis was introduced Fall 2007.  This program has attracted students from across the country.  We are working towards the development of a hew Equine Education Center which will expand and enhance our present program.  The new facility will have two classrooms,  office space, student living quarters, stabling for 44 head of horses, large indoor and outdoor riding arenas plus a breeding facility.  Students wil have ample opportunitiies for hands-on exposure to daily horse and facility care.   To learn more about this program, see link on this page.
