Description

Discover Scotland this summer and enhance your knowledge of equestrianism and riding skills by attending the Equine Summer School in the Scottish countryside just outside the historic city of Edinburgh.

In collaboration with a prestigious Scottish college specializing in animal care, agriculture and land-based studies, Adelante is offering a NEW 4 week summer program in Equine Studies.

This special summer school is available for animal science and pre-veterinary students, as well as those students who enjoy equestrianism. However, no previous equestrian experience is required. Students will enroll in two Sophomore-level courses, Equine Anatomy and Physiology, and Equine Fitness. The achievement of these two units will give you 6 credit hours. Official university transcripts will be given on completion of the program.

In addition to classroom instruction, students will be involved in practical and hands-on experiences, with the opportunity to discover equestrianism 'British' style, and experience both classical and English-style riding skills. Also included is an educational program of visits to several of the main cultural sites of Scotland and the internationally recognized Royal Highland Show.

Housing in university dorms is included in the program. Most meals are provided. This is a great all-inclusive study package.
