So I’m doing a subject as part of my Equine Science Degree this semester that is titled Applied Animal Pharmacology and Therapeutics. It is a new subject on offer to distance education students (I study part time alongside work), but one that I’m thoroughly enjoying and feel is very important!
One thing I hadn’t realised on an introductory lecture to the subject, is how many avenues there are for exploring potential work/careers in this area. If you’re studying in the area of animal science or equine science, you may be interested in pursuing work that allows you to help develop pharmaceuticals for a horse’s well being. Consider:
- worming products
- vaccinations
- other health products like antibiotics
Being involved in biomedical research with regards to equine health can be a well paid position that may appeal to the horse enthusiast with a scientific mind. If you are interested in exploring this side of horse work, perhaps looking into such companies is worth considering. A couple include:
“Closness, friendship, affection: keeping your own horse means all these things.” – Bertrand Leclair
