Joanna Baxter

Head of Department – Land-based

I’ve been riding since childhood where I came up through the Pony Club ranks and competed nationally. At university, I developed a special interest in biomechanical research. My specialist areas are dressage, showjumping, cross country and equitation teaching. and I’m involved with the British Horse Society standard setting. As Head of Land-based studies at Craven College, it’s really interesting getting more involved with the other areas, as I am from a farming background.

My Qualifications...

MSc in Sports & Exercise Biomechanics
BHS Stable Manager’s Certificate
Post Graduate Certificate in Education
BSc (Honours) in Equine Science & Management
BHS Intermediate Instructors Certificate
