This new specialized equine studies program has two goals for students like you:

1. Providing you with the business education you need to operate and/or manage an equine related business, and

2. Ensuring you have a solid background in equine science

This horse care program will not teach you how to ride, drive or handle a horse. Our students must already have this knowledge and experience. Therefore, there is a specialized competency requirement for all students who apply for this program.

How to apply:

Along with a complete nsac application form you must include a completed copy of the Equine Competency Form

Equine Competency Form

Please complete the first page yourself and have the second page filled out by a knowledgeable person who can evaluate your experience in the care and handling of horses like an instructor, stable owner, or club leader. Then return this form with your NSAC application to:

Office of the Registrar

Nova Scotia Agricultural College

P.O.Box 550

Truro, Nova Scotia

Canada B2N 5E3

After the Registry has received the attached Equine competency form, your application will be processed and you'll receive a letter indicating whether or not you have been accepted into the program. If you are accepted, you will receive further information about the program.

If you have questions you can contact Carollyn Crewe at ccrewe@nsac.ca or (902)893-6698.
