Quarter Horse Unit

The Fresno State Quarter Horse Unit provides a unique opportunity for students and the general public to expand their equine knowledge. The Quarter Horse Unit is the setting for a number of Animal Science classes and internships, covering such areas as Horse Production, Advanced Horse Management, Stable Management, Equine Nutrition, and Colt Training.

The Quarter Horse Unit also operates as a functional breeding and training enterprise. Please see the "Broodmares" and "Quarter Horses For Sale" pages for more information on our bloodlines and horses available for purchase. 

The classes cover breeding and selection; nutritional investigations; health and disease control; general horse handling techniques; colt training techniques; internship work experience and other related activities such as research projects, field days, judging contests and horse shows. As a learning facility, the Quarter Horse Unit is unparalleled. Many students graduate to full-time employment within the horse industry.

We are committed to providing quality education and producing quality Quarter Horses.
