L3 Extended Diploma Equine Management BSc Honours Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation Ride and Road Safety BHS Stage 1

Discussing qualifications The Open University offers with current and new students.

Previous equine experience includes work experience at riding schools, duties included but weren't limited to, mucking out, tacking horses up for lessons, grooming etc. During my time at college I also had the opportunity to do a weeks work experience at an equine hospital. I was able to observe surgery, assist with mares and foals as well as help with minor procedures. The majority of my basic equine experience has been learned through college with more advanced knowledge during my time at university focussing on the therapy and rehabilitation side of the equine industry. I am a really keen learner and look forward to the opportunity to improving my equine skillset.

I am a hard-working individual and would hope to apply my equine and teaching knowledge into any potential job role.

I primarily have flatwork and jumping experience with the majority of my riding skills taught throughout my time at college and university. I have little/no experience of hunting or competition riding but am extremely wiling to learn if the opportunity arose. In more recent times I have had my first horse on loan who was very green when I first started with her, prior to this I have never had much experience with green horses/producing a horse.
