Educational Visits
Previous equine students have visited: Braham International Horse Trials, Horse of the Year Show, Crow Wood Equestrian and HAPPA Horses and Ponies Protection Association PLUS rehabilitation centres, saddlery outlets and have a go at playing polo. Horse of The Year Show tickets can be secured by deposit – link coming soon.
Lockers
Lockers are available for students daily, to store such items as boots, hats, and body protectors, however, students must provide their own standard padlock. Students are required to change their boots from the yard when entering classrooms, therefore an extra pair of indoor wear shoes will be required.
Also please note there is a short walk from the new Equestrian Centre to the Student Refectory and the classroom, so a waterproof coat and suitable footwear are a consideration.
Weekend Yards
Due to increased horse numbers, the new Equestrian Centre and to fulfil qualification guidelines, all Equine students must complete weekend yard duties as part of successful completion of their qualification, which will comprise approximately two days per academic half term, when the rota has been finalised it will be forwarded to students. Students will be exercising, looking after the horses, and helping with the competitions, there may also be an opportunity to compete the College horses. At times public transport can be difficult, students will not be timetabled for the whole weekend at once to ease this situation, and changes can be made with the Yard Supervisor in exceptional circumstances. If students either have work or other commitments as to why they can only either do a Saturday or a Sunday, please can parents of students under 18 years or the student themselves write to me to explain so this can be taken into account when compiling the rota and consider the most appropriate solutions. Students will be expected to undertake duties to cover half terms and training days.
Work Experience
Levels 1 & 2 – Complete 150 hours of Work Experience over the duration of the course
