This course reflects the growing awareness of the need to develop a greater understanding of equine behaviour.
You'll study all areas of equine behaviour, health and welfare, including an extensive range of subjects from anatomy and physiology to equitation science. The course will help you build the fundamental knowledge of behaviour and physiology – as well as the laboratory skills – needed to optimise the welfare of horses in our care, allowing them to thrive and perform as required in industry.
Teaching on this course is supported by our British Horse Society (BHS)-approved Equestrian Centre. The centre includes stabling for over 65 horses and international-sized indoor and outdoor arenas.
