Why Choose Horses & Courses?

More and more horse people are realising the benefits of knowledge and education when caring for or riding horses. An awareness of your horse’s needs and physiology can help reduce vets bills, save money and improve your horse’s performance, health and well being.

Distance learning offers the same qualifications that you would study at college and is becoming the preferred method of education. You can combine work with your studies, gaining valuable work experience along with qualifications and it also allows you to study around your own commitments and study from home.

We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing up-to-date, informative materials that balance the demands of the industry with the academic requirements of further education.
