Equine Health Management Rotation

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

The objective of the Equine Health Management Rotation is to prepare students for diagnosing and treating common conditions of the horse in practice, whether it be exclusively equine or a mixed practice. The course places an emphasis on dentistry, podiatry, deworming, vaccination, and basic veterinary procedures. Many hands-on laboratories are taught on Cornell-owned horses (for example, 3 dental labs, 4h each performing oral examinations and addressing concerns in the mouth).  In addition, the course strives to provide information regarding equine veterinary business and the equine industry with guest speakers. The strengths of this course are the hands-on laboratories and ability to hone your technical skills, along with the interaction with practicing equine veterinarians.
