A program of the School of Agriculture at Middle Tennessee State University โ€” our faculty combine horse science, management, and hands-on horsemanship skills to make well-rounded students prepared for a career in the multi-billion dollar horse industry. The MTSU Horse Science Program educates college and graduate students about the many aspects of the horse industry, including reproduction, nutrition, evaluation and selection, judging, riding, horse health, event and facility management, and equine-assisted therapy. As part of Middle Tennessee State University's Agribusiness and Agriscience department, we offer a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a concentration in Horse Science, as well as a Master of Science in Horse Science, with concentrations in Equine Physiology, Equine Education, and Equine Industry Management.

Congratulations to MTSU Horse Barn Manager Jeremy Carlton for his stellar showing of two MTSU-bred Tennessee Walking Horses, and for his coaching of our students showing at the WHOA International Tennessee Walking Horse Horse Show. Jeremy is a master at conditioning and handling young horses In-Hand, and we now have the Champion Open Yearling C**t, Reserve Champion Open Yearling, and Reserve Champion Open Mare.
Two Tone Blue, aka "Uno," by Mr True Blue out of Seve's Lady Raider (Mindy) won Champion Open Yearling C**t In-Hand. Uno was also Reserve Champion Open Yearling In-Hand.
Seve's Final Round, aka "Uma," by Seve out of Justa Innocent Dare (Epiphany) was Reserve Champion Open Mare In-Hand (and she's only two years old). Huge thanks to Jeremy for hours of hard work and miles upon miles of walking in-hand to get these youngsters fit and ready to show!

Participants got settled in by moving their horses into the barns, learned about the MTSU Horse Science program, and getting to know one another through a fun name game. We kicked things off with warm-up drills in the TN Miller Coliseum!

We're excited for a great week of learning, riding, and making new connections. Stay tuned for more highlights from the clinic.
