Course Overview

This course will give you a sound knowledge and understanding of the physiological principles of equine sports science, and enable you to relate them to different equestrian disciplines. It is specifically designed for students wishing to further their knowledge of the science behind the production, management and training of performance horses, and will develop their practical application of key scientific principles.

You'll be based at our Brackenhurst Campus where you'll benefit from our extensive Equestrian Centre. Throughout the course, you'll use the centre to gain the practical and research skills needed for careers in the equine industry. We also offer student livery at the centre.
