With a long history of teaching, research, equine medicine and outreach excellence, Texas A&M University has been a vital contributor to the equine industry for generations. Both the Department of Animal Science and the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences have been instrumental in providing the equine industry with knowledge and care that have advanced not only equine sciences, but the welfare of the horse as well.
Texas A&M Equine Initiative Brochure
Today our past accomplishments are not enough. The purpose of the Equine Initiative at Texas A&M is to collaboratively utilize our expertise to build an equine program that will graduate the industry’s future leaders and generate research and veterinary medical care that will improve the industry and the care and welfare of the horse. Texas A&M will build complete and modern facilities, from which to teach, train students and conduct research. Further, Texas A&M will be connected to the entire industry through extensive outreach activities.
The Equine Initiative has developed four major imperatives. In each of these areas, the focus will be to enhance and improve upon Texas A&M’s existing strengths in order to facilitate the completion the vision of the Equine Initiative. The four imperatives are curriculum enhancement, outreach & engagement expansion, facility construction and partnership development.
