Costa Rica Pre-Vet Equine

Applications are open for Summer 2026!

 

The one-week Costa Rica Pre-Vet Equine program offers you the opportunity to gain experience in the basics of equine veterinary care and husbandry on a tranquil ranch in tropical Costa Rica. With your program veterinarian, you will have daily workshops on topics such as physical therapy, dentistry, nutrition,  radiography and ultrasonography, farrier care, and acupuncture as well as daily lectures on topics such as equine physical exams and veterinary basics, farm management, horse breeding and genetics, and animal behavior and communication.

Daily horse care assignments will include food preparation, feeding, grooming, cleaning of stables and maintenance of grazing areas and walking trails, so be prepared to get your hands dirty!
