The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is introducing several new educational options focused on horse ownership. The first course offered is an introductory course aimed at parents who are contemplating or who have purchased a horse for their children. This course will cover the basics that parents need to know to make a knowledgeable purchase and understand what horse ownership entails. The second course offered covers more in-depth information on Horse Ownership including nutrition, foot care, grooming and more. These courses are taught at the Chilliwack Trades and Technology Center. To find out more about the Equine Studies at UFV call 1-888-504-7441 local 5471. As these programs become popular, the UFV will expand their equine studies programs.
