Sarah Rigg, Director of the UNH Equine Program discusses the program, its academic options, the equine facility, riding opportunities, equestrian teams, and other student opportunities.  UNH’s Equine program offers students a B.S. degree in Equine Studies with a choice of three options: Equine-Assisted Therapies and Activities; Equine Industry and Management; and Equine Science.

 The Equine program offers a unique and well-rounded experience for students with a passion for horses and interested in a career in the horse industry. Comprehensive, science-based studies are complemented by  the outstanding on-campus facilities. All equine students share a core curriculum rooted in the biological and equine sciences, then choose one of the three specialized tracks of study. In addition, all equine students complete an internship that broadens their real-world skill building. An Equine Studies minor is also available.
