Equine Guelph is excited to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website, aimed at providing an enhanced user experience and easier access to its world-renowned equine education programs and research news. This new platform will be an invaluable resource for horse enthusiasts, equine industry professionals, and students worldwide.

A Legacy of Excellence in Equine Education

Founded in 2003, Equine Guelph has been a pioneer in equine education, research, and healthcare promotion. Equine Guelph is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and welfare of horses through education, research, and industry development. Located at the University of Guelph, Equine Guelph serves as a hub for equine professionals and enthusiasts.  Over the past two decades, Equine Guelph has become a global leader in providing evidence-based horse care and welfare resources.

Equine Guelph focuses on three key areas: Research, Education, and Careers, creating a seamless flow between them to support the equine industry. Their research initiatives aim to promote the health and welfare of horses by investigating diseases and common problems, and effectively communicating findings to the scientific community and industry in lay language. Through education, Equine Guelph offers a variety of online courses and programs, such as the Equine Studies Online program, which are based on evidence-based practices and designed to provide students with practical knowledge and skills. These educational programs often lead to career opportunities in one of the many areas featured in Equine Guelph’s Equine Careers Showcase. 

Horse welfare is also always a central focus, with initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for horses through advocacy, education, and the development of best practices for horse care and management. This integrated approach ensures that research informs education, which in turn prepares students for successful careers, all while prioritizing the welfare of horses, creating a continuous cycle of improvement and innovation in the equine sector.

With both online short courses and 12-week accredited courses, including advanced topics such as Equine Welfare, Nutrition, Behaviour and Functional Anatomy, Equine Guelph ensures that students receive the most current and practical knowledge.   

The popularity of these programs can be attributed to their flexibility and accessibility. Students from over 40 countries have enrolled in Equine Guelph’s courses, benefiting from the expertise of leading researchers and practitioners in the field.

The online format allows students to balance their studies with their personal and professional commitments, making it easier for them to continue their education without compromising their responsibilities at home.
