This course gives you the opportunity to gain a good grounding in key aspects of horse management and equitation. The course is a mixture of theory and practical units.
The theory units will ensure that you have an understanding of the importance of correct horse management and how this impacts on equine performance. The practical units will teach the skills that are required to work in an equine yard looking after a variety of horses.
You'll be involved in the daily care of the horses through yard duties to develop the practical skills necessary to gain employment within the equine industry. You'll therefore need to live in on-campus accommodation during your studies.
2 GCSEs at grade 4 or above to include English Language and either Maths or Science.
Applicants for Equitation courses will need to undertake a riding assessment as part of the application process.
Our students have gone on to some fantastic careers in a wide range of industries and enjoyed some exceptional work placements all over the world, helping them open doors to their dream careers. You’ll complete internal work experience, throughout both years, as well as an external block in your second year, to develop your skills in a workplace setting.
