Davis, Calif.—This summer, join UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education on two exciting outdoor adventures that take participants into the California wilderness on horseback. Past participants have acclaimed these courses “an outstanding adventure” and “a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Track wild horses and relive the Old West in the seldom-visited Pizona area of Inyo National Forest. From a central meadow camp, riders track mustangs in their natural pinyon forest habitat and learn the social behavior of the horses and their current struggle. This program is a special opportunity that combines a rustic outdoor adventure and a unique educational experience in exploring the biology, ecology and behavior of a proud and beautiful animal— the North American wild horse.
June 8–11. $900.
