Equine Management

This exciting new course covers all of the required practical skills for the British Horse Society Level 3 Groom's qualification, embedded within a framework of equine science and business based learning.

You will build knowledge and skills in horse care and management to reach this level throughout the two years. Students with little or no previous experience with horses will be expected to commit to additional sessions to develop these practical skills in order to meet the required standard.

This new course combines a blend of science with the business skills required to run a successful equine operation. You will have access to academics with many years of practical horse handling experience so that you can be confident that you are learning from the best there is. You will get out and about on a high number of industry visits to world leading equestrian businesses and will be introduced to high profile guest speakers ensuring that you have a complete overview of the subject.

By the end of the course you will be able to practically handle and manage horses as well as supervise and lead others.

You will complete a 10-week period of work experience, usually during the summer between your first and second year, to gain further training and experience in the equestrian sector. Not only could you find yourself working for prestigious businesses but you will also develop your confidence and gain industry contacts for when you graduate.
