Equine Guelph supports a number of high-quality projects at the University of Guelph, by virtue of funding provided largely by the racing industry (Standardbred, Thoroughbred and Quarter horse organizations): the Horse Improvement Program from the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and the E.P. Taylor Foundation, started by veterinarians in the Thoroughbred industry, and now maintained in trust by the University and Equine Guelph.

🐴 School’s almost out. #EquineGuelph has the perfect activity for young horse enthusiasts during those rainy days. An online course full of fun activities and horse talk for teens! Horse Behaviour & Safety @TheHorsePortal.ca offers two weeks of engaging material, with a full year of access to learn at a leisurely pace. Did you know? Horses have their own personal space, known as a flight zone. A calm, confident horse will have a smaller flight zone. A nervous or less confident horse will have a larger flight zone—which calls for a different, more cautious approach. A nervous or irritated horse can move suddenly, and when a 1200-pound animal decides to flee, safety becomes critical. Young riders and horse enthusiasts can learn how to "speak horse" and respond safely and confidently to #equine body language.
