The Regional Equine & Agricultural Centre of Huron (REACH Huron), will welcome the first class of the Performance Horse Handler Certificate Program to the rural
community of Clinton this September.
“We expect the first class to consist of 30-35 students who will complete a one-year certificate program delivered by University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus at the REACH Huron teaching facilities,” says Liz Meidlinger, manager, communications, Ridgetown Campus.
Interest in the new program has been strong and the REACH Huron facilities are an outstanding location for this specialized equine training.
The students taking the new program will be relocating to Clinton from across Ontario, and many will be residing in the Clinton region for an eight-month stay. Ridgetown Campus has recently selected course instructors, who are now developing detailed course outlines.
“We are extremely excited to be working closely with the Ridgetown Campus and are looking forward to the arrival of the first class of full-time students at REACH Huron and are pleased to be welcoming these students to our community,” said REACH Huron CEO Richard Harding.
We appreciate the community of Clinton and area stepping forward to provide student housing opportunities for these upcoming post secondary students that will be studying and living in Central Huron.
