Scottsdale Community College's Equine Science program is finally getting a permanent home at WestWorld, a prominent equestrian venue in Scottsdale, Arizona. After decades of operating from temporary locations across the Valley, the college and city officials broke ground on a new 22,000-square-foot facility that is expected to open by summer 2026. This new site will centralize the program's resources, featuring 10 horse stalls, two round pens, and a farrier station, which will significantly enhance the training experience for students. Jay Clements, the program's director, emphasized that being located at WestWorld will provide students with better access to industry events and professionals, allowing them to gain valuable experience alongside top names in the equestrian field. The Equine Science program, which has been training students for over 40 years, prepares graduates for various careers such as veterinary assistants and trainers, contributing to an industry that generates $177 billion annually.
