You will study a mixture of theory at college and practical work at the stables, including riding on the flat and jumping, and learning about general horse care. You will gain lots of experience working and dealing with horses. Subjects covered include: - Work-related experience, - Feeding and watering horses, - Routine stable duties, - Horse handling, - Horse grooming, - Trimming and plaiting, - Principles of horse behaviour, - Riding horses on the flat, - English and maths. Hargate Hill Equestrian Centre boasts very good facilities and a wide variety of horses to ride and work with, including an outdoor arena, indoor school and cross-country course. The centre is situated on the outskirts of Glossop in Derbyshire, with an impressive span of modern buildings catering for over 150 horses at any one time. The course involves a work placement, either in a local yard or anywhere in the UK. If you are prepared to move, you stand a much better chance of going to a big, professional yard which specialises in your interests.
