The CSU Orange Campus has traditionally had a strong affiliation with the Australian National Field Days (ANFD) which this year will be held at the Borenore site in Orange from 17-19 October. CSU’s Equine business management course coordinator Amanda Warren-Smith said as well as their usual stand at the ANFD, the CSU Equine Unit will also coordinate a new Equine Expo. She said horses are an employment intensive industry: “A lot of people don’t realise that the horse industry contributes $8 billion a year to Australia’s GDP. Our Equine Business management course looks into aspects such as breeding, racing, competing, the pleasure horse industry and horse therapy. To have students working on the Equine Expo at ANFD also gives them added exposure to the event management side of the industry.” Charles Sturt University will also have a CSU course and enterprises information stand at Field Days called Educating tomorrow’s professionals.
