Horse Care

Horse Care Management – SCQF Level 6 Horse Care – SCQF Level 5 Horse Care – SCQF Level 4 Race Horse Care – SCQF Level 5

Aimed at students who want a career in the equine industry, the courses combine theory classes, practical stable management, riding and work experience.

We use local riding establishments, where you will have the opportunity to improve your riding skills and learn more about the care and welfare of different types of horses and ponies.

There may be opportunities on some courses to further enhance employment skills by taking British Horse Society courses in Riding and Road Safety (Ride Safe), Equine Specific First Aid and Animal Transportation or taking part in the Erasmus+ work placement initiative in Europe.
