We also offer Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced classes for children and adult community members. We offer internships in equine husbandry for students. In addition, we have classes in Equine Industries, Equine Marketing, Young Horse Training, Coaching, Introduction to Equine Science and Equine Reproduction. Foals are born every spring, after an average gestation period of 340 days. Mares normally deliver only one foal.
Foals remain with their dams until the fall when they are weaned at four to six months of age.
The broodmares and their foals may be viewed in the research barn during Spring Term. With over 250 English, Western Dressage, and Jump riders every week, the barn is often full of students, coaches and horses tacking up for a ride or cooling down afterwards. Please be aware of the people and horses around the barn, and DO NOT walk through without checking in with Horse Center staff. If you are interested in a tour, schedule an appointment in advance of your visit so we may provide a guide to make sure your tour is safe and that you receive accurate information about our program.
