Program Description
We are excited to announce our new Western Recreational Rider certificate program. This program has the potential to allow you to continue employment, while you study on-line.
The program will commence with eight weeks of on-campus instruction beginning in July, where the focus will be on
- horse handling
- western riding skills
- health care procedures and assessment
- administering medications
- basic horse hoof care
From September through to April you will engage in on-line instruction through Equine Guelph of the University of Guelph on a part time basis. The following Spring, you will finish with a further eight weeks on campus during May and June. This study period will conclude with the Wilderness Wrangler course, a perfect way to end the program as you head off on a pack trip into the Canadian Rockies.
In total, you will complete four online courses and six on-campus courses to complete the Western Recreational Rider Certificate program.
