The Department of Equine Science at Otterbein College provides an exciting educational experience for students pursuing careers as equine professionals. Our highly regarded academic program complements the hands-on skills that you will learn at our Equine Center.
At Otterbein, students learn by doing. They trim hooves, make their own horse shoes, foal out mares, give injections, and bandage legs, just to name a few of the skills taught here. Students attend local shows and trade fairs such as the Equine Affaire, veterinary seminars, Quarter Horse Congress, and Rolex. Check out all the exciting experiences available to students at Otterbein!
Otterbein College will begin constructing a new equine facility that is scheduled to open for the 2008 academic year. Details.
Construction is also underway on new $20 million science building.
Otterbein partnered with PBJConnections, Inc. for the 2007 summer youth program using equine-based experential learning and therapy.
