This camp is primarily targeting our students that are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. Jump into a deeper understanding of horse health, care, and maintenance practices along with daily riding!
• Basic Animal Examinations- Campers learn signs for a horses’ ideal health. Monitor heart rate, check eyes, ears, and mouth.
• Identifying Internal Parasites/ Diseases- Campers will be identifying common parasites and diseases
• Giving Injections- Using dyed water and injecting into oranges, campers learn to and practice drawing and administer medications. Campers will learn where and why injections are given to animals under a veterinarian’s care.
• Watch a Live Teeth Float/ Sheath Cleaning- Our Veterinarian comes to camp for one day to show us the ins and outs of both a teeth float and sheath cleaning live and in person
• Adopt a Horse- Campers take a dive into responsible pet ownership.
During the four day course each camper actually helps take care of one of our ten horses by feeding, cleaning, grooming, and watering each day! AND MORE! We are very excited to implement this class into our summer camp program in 2020!
