You need only observe a wild horse for a short time to appreciate the waywardness of our horse keeping practices, and why we face such a myriad of health and soundness issues.
Whatever your area of interest in working in the equine industry, this program is designed to give you a thorough, fundamental understanding of all the key aspects of horse husbandry in today's world, and the tools to apply what you have learned to equine care and management.
The ESA offers both an Equine Sciences Degree and Certification in Natural Hoof Care, and is the most comprehensive natural hoof care certification program offered anywhere.
The Academy is founded on the belief that the practice of focusing on one aspect of a horse's body, environment, habits etc. without due consideration of the other possible mitigating factors in his life is inherently flawed. For example, most hoof care issues do not originate in the hoof - simply learning to trim is not enough !!!
The science behind a thriving horse is complex, but the principles are simple — the closer he gets to a natural equine environment and lifestyle, the healthier he will be in mind, body and spirit.
Research is needed to further understand the science. Education is the key to helping professionals and horse owners apply the principles.
This Academy is dedicated to both.
