I chose this course, as I have a real passion for horses and always had horses of my own.
I am interested in pursuing a career with horses, and wanted to have a good understanding of stable management and explore different career options.
I enjoy the variety of practical and theory work throughout the day, learning about the yard routine and helping take care of the horses. Both the theory and practical elements of the course are both just as fun and interesting as well as interactive.
I really enjoy working with my peers and have now formed a great friendship group.
I am planning on progressing onto the level 3 programme in equine management and I would like to go into behaviour and training of young horses. I am also considering being a racing or polo groom.
