Welcome to the University of Montana Western’s Equine
Studies Program website! Here at UMW, we provide students an
opportunity to combine their passion for horses with a great education and hands-on
experience doing what they love. Students can choose a number of
academic pathways toward an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in either
Equine Studies or Natural Horsemanship, or a Bachelor’s degree in Natural
Horsemanship, while maintaining and pursuing their interest in horses and
all things equine. The Natural Horsemanship Program is a select program and
requires a special application available from this website or by contacting
a faculty member of the Equine Studies program (see below).
Additional equine classes offered through our Outreach
department (these classes are typically held on weekends) allow you to “get
a taste” of other aspects of the equine industry. These courses vary
from year-to-year, but past Outreach course topics have included horse
shoeing, dressage, horse show management, equine massage, jumping, reining,
barrel racing, horse & livestock disaster preparedness, equine-assisted
psychotherapy, and driving or harness horsemanship. For more
information concerning degree and class options see our degrees page.
If you have more questions, please contact one of us
(Equine Program Faculty). Finally, you may also wish to visit the UMW
web site at www.umwestern.edu to
learn more about Western. Please contact one of us if you need
assistance with the options or suggestions listed above. We will try
to help you in any way we can, and we really look forward to sharing our
love and knowledge of horses with you!
