Horse management is a real degree at Oneonta University in Upstate NY. Horses are a significant industry and a lot of people make a living at it.

My wife studied Animal Science at the Ag School at Cornell and now she runs a riding academy, at least one of her students moved on to studying horse management at Oneonta. I wouldn't knock it.
