This diploma is all about obtaining a business education. You now have the opportunity to study something you love - horses. This horse program will appeal to students who are interested in the care and management of horses for recreation, sport or business. Although the equine industry in the Atlantic region does not offer very many opportunities for employment, the horse industry in all forms from pleasure to racing has been growing rapidly in the Atlantic Region.

This equine program is designed for students who are interested in obtaining a business background and combining it with their passion for horses.

'Students will be expected to be experienced in horse handling and care. Learning to ride horses or drive horses is not part of this program. All students are required to complete stable duty at the campus stable.

NSAC is pleased to announce the opening of Baron's Pride Stable.
