enrolled in the practicum program can participate in riding lessons and in the
care and management of UConn horses. The Practicum is open to all students
enrolled at the University. Although priority for riding is given to Animal
Science majors, all students are welcome on a space available basis.

students may choose from Huntseat, Western, Dressage,
Saddleseat (by arrangement), and Polo. Beginner,
advanced beginner, intermediate I & II and advanced classes are offered.

clip, bathe, groom, and pull manes, etc.
