COURSE DETAILS
Stable management is not just about walking horses about and washing them off with cold water and putting back to their stalls. There are certain aspects which are important yet unknown to many who do it on a voluntary and/ or irregular basis.

For example, many are unaware of the standard to which horses should be groomed, the way their feet are supposed to be taken care of, and how they are supposed to be presented on a daily basis. The whole basis of stable management (or horse management) is also to ensure the well being of the horse, which means one must know what to look out for when grooming and/or managing the horses' living environment.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED
.i Mucking out - Importance of mucking out and keeping a clean envrionement for the horse. The use of difference bedding for individual horses
