Experiential Learning
A Service Learning project is required of all majors. Students have the opportunity of working with physically or mentally challenged riders, 4H groups, inner city children, animal humane societies, or groups requiring knowledge of safe horse handling.
Pairs of students work together on the Otterbein College Foalwatch Team. These students foal over 70 mares during the winter and spring quarters at nearby Success Acres, Inc., a Standardbred breeding farm. This farm is also the site used for halter breaking foals in EQSC 301 Systems Course III and for learning to trim hooves in EQSC 290 Farrier Science II.
