The objective of the Equine Specialty Rotation is to prepare students for diagnosing and treating common conditions of the horse in practice, whether it be exclusively equine or a mixed practice.  The course places an emphasis on dentistry, podiatry, deworming, vaccination, and basic veterinary procedures which are taught on Cornell-owned horses.  In addition, the course strives to provide information regarding equine veterinary business and the equine industry with guest speakers.  The strengths of this course are the hands-on laboratories and ability to hone your technical skills, along with the interaction with practicing equine veterinarians.
