Facilities

The College boasts an Olympic standard arena that has an impressive schedule underway. The equine unit is a British Horse Society examination centre and approved by the BHS to train up to BHSI level. Students can bring their own horse/s to College whether they are studying for an Equine course or not. All students are actively encouraged to take part in competitions run at the College. They do not have to have their own horse as they can use College horses. Students may take an active role in the day to day routine care of the horses, giving them that all important industry experience. Students are also encouraged on all courses working towards BHS examinations to provide an additional vocational qualification.
