Kentucky Community and Technical College System and Bluegrass Community and Technical College
are collaborating on the development of a North American Racing Academy that will offer a
comprehensive equine studies curriculum that will include a core curriculum and career pathways for
jockeys, horsemen and racing industry support personnel. This will be a required core course

17. Proposed Course Description (Course description as it will appear in the catalog.):
Continues the study of equine care begun in EQM 100 examining the anatomy and physiology of equine
body systems and applications of this knowledge to the raising, training and management of horses in
general and racehorses in particular. Includes identification of three muscle fiber types; types, causes and
symptoms of colic; thermoregulation; blood components and flow; upper and lower respiratory airway
diseases and infectious neurological diseases.

Course Competencies and Delivery:
20. Proposed Course Competencies (If part of an organized curriculum, how does it relate to program
competencies? Begin statement with a capital letter and end with a period.):
Upon completion of this course, the student can:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Meet or exeed industry accepted safety and accuracy standards while demonstrating competencies
Measure height and weight of a horse and describe how to give a horse a body condition score.
Identify three muscle fiber types and explain how training affects each.
Define “tying-up” and apply management methods to minimize muscle damage.
Trace the pathway of food through the digestive tract and explain the digestive physiology that takes place
in each major part.
6. Explain thermoregulation in the horse and management practices for non-sweaters.
7. Identify skin diseases and treatment.
8. Draw a schematic of the circulatory system and show how nutrients and oxygen are delivered to cells
9. Describe respiration and its relation to circulation and oxygen delivery.
10. Explain the physiology of exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) and use of medications and/or
management techniques to prevent EIPH.
11. Explain the functioning of the nervous system and its relationship to the proper regulation and functioning
of other body systems.
12. Name four neurological diseases, explain possible causes and describe biosecurity measures to prevent or
control outbreaks.

List of experiments/activities (Courses with components other than lecture. e.g., laboratory, clinical,
practicum, etc., must include a sample list of experiment topics or activities. Does not have to be all
-inclusive.):
1. Students will work with 3-D visual aids and computer simulation programs to understand the
relationship of form to function of anatomical features learned in EQM 100 and EQS 110.
2. Heart rate monitors will be used so that students can observe the changes in heart rate associated with
various forms of stress and exercise.
3. Preserved and fixed anatomical parts will be available for students to study the relative size and
functioning of different parts of the digestive system.
4. Working with a local veterinarian, students will draw blood for testing and follow that blood through
the testing procedure to learn about blood doping and relationship to blood testing for other drugs.
5. Also, under the direction of a veterinarian, students will view endoscopic exams of racehorses and
observe abnormal respiratory system physiology that can compromise performance.
6. Students will prepare a biosecurity plan for prevention and control of contagious diseases and
implement that plan with the NARA stable horses.
23.
Indicate sample suggested classroom resources for course (Should not have publishing date greater than five
years.)
