Continuing Education: A Study of Horse Psychology

The Between the Ears: A Study of Horse Psychology course is being offered from March 1 through April 12 by Aiken Technical College in partnership with the Horsemanship Academy.

Students will have two in-person sessions (on the start and end dates of the course), and the remaining lectures will be online.

During the course, students will gain insights into their horse’s behavior and thoughts, learn effective communication techniques to build understanding and connection with their horse, and develop tools and techniques to achieve their horse-related goals.

Six topics will be addressed:

• Nature of Horses

• Herd Dynamics

• Horse Personalities

• Applications to Your Horse

• Socialization and Connection

• How to Create a Herd of Two

The course is free for South Carolina residents and $995 per person for out-of-state residents. To register, contact Elfredia Phillips at (803) 508-7342 or phillipse2@atc.edu.
