Based in Powell in Wyoming, Northwest Community College is a public community establishment offering several two year associate degree courses. One of those courses is in Equine Studies. This programme enables students to achieve a powerful base in equine science, with a perfect mix of theoretical instruction and practical participation in riding horses and in coaching and handling them. Scholars are enabled to take up constructive employment immediately on conclusion of these courses; they can alternatively select further education at other establishments.
Depending on their set of interests, students can select either of 2 Associate program options. Riding and coaching constitutes the first option. Students are given thorough exposure to riding, training and handling of horses regarding the science of management of the horse industry. Students who pass out of this course are enabled to gain immediate employment in:
- Riding schools
- Coaching schools
- Summer camps
- Grooming
- Rider exercising
- Boarding stables
- Wrangling.
Students who are not especially interested in an AAS degree can also join an Equine Care/Basic Riding Certificate course of one year duration at Northwest Community College. This program makes scholars skillful riders and well versed in quality pony care, therefore giving them the kind of skills that they're going to need to achieve success in the arena of equines. While on this course, students learn equine safety, horse health management, equine nourishment, horse behaviour, correct tack fitting as well as riding with safety for both rider and pony. Graduates are empowered for work as
- Operators of boarding stables
- Riding school aids
- Wranglers
- Guides for trail riding
- Grooms
- Sales personnel
- Sitters at breeding farms.
For those scholars who need to be involved in the sale and merchandising aspects of the equine industry, Northwest Community College also offers scholars an Equine Business Management course for scholars wishing to be concerned in marketing and merchandizing in the equine world. For this course, students aren't required to have a horse.
Students are also able to opt for the degree in Management of Farrier Business. This degree imbues scholars with the abilities necessary for running small firms; it also qualifies them for pro licensing by the American Farrier's Association.
The College's equine studies courses emphasise events, both English and Western, strongly. The program is very competitive, and usually accepts not more than 40 scholars annually. The successful applicants are put through a course that gets them an Applied Science Associate degree in Equine Studies.
Scholars are urged to have more than simple basis experience with riding, though it is not compulsory. This programme will benefit scholars from a 4-H or breed association background the most. Students are also advised to take along their own horses. If this is not possible arrangements are to be made so that a pony is ready for the student prior to their first-class. There aren't any exceptions to the stable charges students are required to pay, whether or not they have brought their own pony or have been provided with one on arrival at the college. All horses except gaited ones are fine to be used by scholars in the college's equine studies program. It is not mandatory that they be registered, but the horses should be sound of health and possess good manners, they are expected to get along well with other strange horses.
Riding classes are staged at the College's Equine Center Complex, where the stables are situated. The Complex has facilities like a heated indoor arena with a viewing studio, storage of feed, an outside arena, paddocks for turnout, a tack room and wash racks, both outside and indoor.
