Applied Equine Management (Therapy)

This foundation degree develops practical equine management skills alongside a solid academic base. The aim is to support horse health and well-being while improving welfare and performance. Students gain sound scientific understanding that explains why good management works, not only how to carry it out. Much of the learning happens on a commercial equine centre, giving students hands-on experience with a working yard. Modules cover equine management in depth, and students choose from option modules, including an equine multi-disciplinary team unit, subject to student numbers. Graduates are prepared for a range of applied roles in the equine sector, combining hands-on management with scientific understanding. The course suits learners who want to spend their days with horses while also studying the science behind their care.
